Saturday in Seattle

We started our day (Brandi’s 30th birth­day) by leav­ing our hotel and going to pick up our friend Chris from the bus sta­tion. He’d taken the bus down from Van­cou­ver for the day, to hang out with us. He knows Seat­tle a lit­tle bet­ter than we do, so he was able to point us to some fun places.

 

Chris took us to a ran­dom lit­tle place called 13 Coins for an amaz­ing break­fast of the house spe­cialty — Dun­ge­ness Crab Eggs Benedict’s and a round or two of Mimosas to cel­e­brate Brandi’s birthday.

This place was fun as

Driving to Seattle

Fri­day was a day of dri­ving.  We left Mis­soula around 10 am and set forth on our 8 hours drive across 2 and a bit states.

Not much to say except to describe the dif­fer­ent land­scapes and weather pat­terns we encoun­tered. We left the foothills of Mon­tana and crossed the moun­tain pass into Idaho and washington state.

 

We trav­elled through Idaho after about 40 min­utes pass­ing through Coeur d’Alene before cross­ing into Wash­ing­ton state and stop­ping in Spokane for some lunch (we had break­fast) at a quaint local place called the Kalico Kitchen. (Which was a final­ist in the Best

February Road Trip — Intro

So, some of you may recall that we donated some money to help a doc­u­men­tary film get made.  This film (The Bus) is now com­plete, and we have been invited to the pre­miere screen­ing, and pre-screening party in Mis­soula Mon­tana.  Now, when we orig­i­nally did this, we were think­ing the screen­ing would hap­pen in spring or sum­mer, and would be a fun ran­dom lit­tle road trip, when­ever it hap­pened to be.

About a month ago, we got the e-mail announc­ing the film was com­plete, and pre­miere screen­ing would take place on Feb­ru­ary 23rd (insert needle-scratch here).  Admit­tedly, of all the Februarys

Wedding Voyage 2011 — Conclusion

By now, we’ve been home for approx­i­mately two months; our fun travel adven­tures are always tough to leave behind; but the con­tin­u­ing tran­si­tion into mar­ried life is its own adventure.

Here is the com­pleted map of our wed­ding trip travels:

We arrived back in Cal­gary in the mid­dle of the Cal­gary Stam­pede with Brian hav­ing asthma/allergy breath­ing issues (likely due to all the hay in town for Stam­pede) and try­ing to get back in the swing of the work­ing world and not hav­ing a new hot spring soak every day. We have

Wedding Voyage 2011 — Lussier & White River (East Fork)

Fri­day brought us another beau­ti­ful day and more hot springs!  After the tra­di­tional pan­cakes with blue­ber­ries (and a bit of scram­bled eggs on the side), we drove from Goat River to Cran­brook where we restocked some sup­plies (Tim Hor­tons cof­fee, bbq lighter, s’more fixin’s).

We drove up through Kim­berly and Inver­mere, before wind­ing our way up to Lussier hot springs.

The hot springs were PACKED:  A cou­ple fam­i­lies with small kids, a big group of rowdy drink­ing teenage boys, and a few qui­eter older cou­ples.  With the river run-off still so high, only one pool was acces­si­ble, and it was ‘warm’ at best.  Everyone
