Coeur d'Alene, ID

For nearly two years my boyfriend and I have had a guilty pleasure. One that’s hidden on the corner of Appleway Ave. in Coeur d’ Alene, and tucked inside an A&D Gas Mart. An unforgettable burger joint, Longboard Burgers. A surfer’s theme and a fun-loving, burger hound’s dream. If the upbeat, cheerful employees can’t snag [...]

Coeur d’ Alene’s Local Market has gone indoors. It’s about time. Now while we’re browsing through the Shopping Plaza (at Finan McDonald I almost bought a new hat to replace my 25-year-old crusher, and our 16-year old got starry-eyed at the wedding shop), we can step out into the corridor and buy a bag of apples or a slab of salmon, sample a bit of hummus, enjoy a massage, or even pick up a seasonal wreath.

Oh what a beautiful weekend.  I finally get some time off and it’s raining like crazy outside.  What do you do for a rainy day activity?  Movies?  Games?  Are there things you do in the area that you do on days like these?  We’d love to hear from you, just add your activities to the [...]

Our quilt group has been going to Camp Twinlow for the past 5 years, fall and spring. Camp Twinlow has a wonderful 2 story retreat facility on the edge of it’s main summer camp. Each floor is equipped with 7 hotel/dorm style rooms which have a set of bunk beds and one queen bed plus a private bath; a full kitchen; and a large meeting area.

The park had quite a few attractions to keep kids (and adults) of all ages having fun. There was a lazy river where you just grab a tube and float around the flowing current that goes in a big circle. This can be very relaxing as long as you don’t run into one of the many waterfalls located on the sides or get splashed by kids running by in the water without a tube (which can be fun too). There is also a younger children’s play area located above the lazy river that has very shallow water and multiple areas for kids to play and get squirted (including 2 mini waterslides that adults can go on too). In addition to these, there are also 3 waterslides located on an upper level, one that involves up to 4 people riding in a big raft down a waterslide.

Camping in an area where you can also fish, swim and hike is always a good thing, so when my family found out about the Elk River Recreation District camping we thought we would try it out. From Moscow the city of Elk River is only 51 miles east on Hwy 8 so it is relatively nearby. The drive is very scenic and you can even follow through onto the Scenic Byway if you have a little more time.

Rathdrum, just 14 miles northwest of Coeur d’Alene is a great little town and they have a wonderful city park. While visiting family we took our children to the park to get some of their energy out and found the park to be not only fun, but really pretty.

Farmer’s Markets have always been a great place to get fresh local produce and meet some interesting people and Moscow’s Downtown Market is no different. For the past few Saturdays I have frequented the Moscow Farmer’s Market off of Main Street downtown. I have bought amazingly sweet cherries and some great bread as well as heard some really good music.

Today ended up being one of the best family days we have had since moving to Moscow. We went to the 31st Annual Ice Cream Social that is put on by the Latah County Historical Society at the old McConnell Mansion on Second and Adams Streets. The McConnell Mansion built in 1886 was originally the home to William J. McConnell and his family. William was a merchant and also served as the state’s senator and governor. This event is free to the public and was not only enjoyable but also very educational.
