St Maries Idaho

I had never heard of it either.... its a very small town in northern Idaho, near Coeur D'Alene. Chris had a job opportunity up there so we decided to take a road trip and go check it out. A very long (7 hours one way) curvy, through the mountains road trip.
Interesting facts about this town
- there is only ONE four way stop. No stop lights.
- everyone knows everyone and everyones business
- St Maries is a logging town....their mascot is Paul Bunyan. ha
-The deer and other forest animals just live in peoples yards. and eat the gardens.
- If you want to feel like you are camping everyday of the year, St Maries is the place for you!!
 It was a beautiful place and everyone was so nice. I don't think we will be taking the job but it was fun to see northern Idaho and get out of Boise for the weekend. But honestly, I hope I never have to do that long drive again :)

This is how Avy sat in her car seat most the way.... horrible I know. But it was such a long drive to be strapped in all that way.
 This video can give you a little idea of how the drive was...I hope Ava will forgive us for putting her through it. Thank goodness we had her blanket or she would not have survived.
