driving, getting lost, more driving

We had a long day yesterday, but i think i'll let hannah tell you about that. Last night we went out for drinks in Ballard at "King's" with her cousin Katie and had a blast. We both had the kings lemonade that were deliciously dangerous because we could barely taste the gin... let's just say there was alot of giggling. And did I mention that Katie drives my dream car, a VW bug (named Betty). We woke up REALLY early this morning, Hannah rolled off the cloud at 5:45, left our last thank you gift (wrapped up microwave popcorn that says "thanks for letting us pop in") and searched for the direction packet for 10 minutes. Fat lot of good the directions did since neither Hannah or I have a sense of direction (north, south...) we just say left or right? Well, let's try this way... 30 mins later, let's try the other way. Finally stop and ask the friendly gas station attendant, and realize it really IS the other way. This is how you see America.

Finally on our way we stopped for gas near Spokane at an incredible gas station. I purchased some great black and white postcards and a neon pink, sparkly flower ring. We made it to Beauty Creek campground on Couer D'alene lake (after another 30 mins of making a wrong turn) and we (Hannah) set up the tent in under 10 minutes. We headed down to the lake and "went swimming" I managed to get my hair wet (so it would get curly) while only going in waist deep. I'll let Hannah tell you where we sun bathed.... I'm pretty sure I was on part of someone's kitchen floor... I have some great pictures to post from Seattle and now Idaho but still need to upload them, so they will be here... tomorrow?
