1049 Miles Later...

2 days, 1049 miles, and 4 latte stops later we arrived in Coeur d'Alene! The drive from the hood to I-da-ho (I smile every time I say that) was great!! We made it all the way through Oregon without a stop from a state trooper. However about 100 miles in the state of Washington I was pulled over for speeding. I swear there is nothing that a little sweet talking and cleavage can't get you out of. Kidding!! We did have a nice conversation with the officer and he ended up letting us off with just a warning. PHEW!!

Let me tell you that 2 days of driving with Mike and Danny provided more than a few laughs. The first day of driving got us all the way to Bend, OR. Luckily we arrive just shortly after The Rock's who secured us a schweet room (with a hot tub) at the La Quinta (Spanish for Pimpn' Pad)! The 5 of us headed downtown for dinner. We quickly located the local brewery and decided that was the perfect place for us. We enjoyed a great dinner together and made it back to the hotel in time for the fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. A quick trip to the grocery store and we were off to bed.

After a good nights sleep, we awoke for a quick run, complimentary Belgium waffles for breakfast (I told you The Rock's hooked up the schweet pad!), and latte! Following breakfast we packed up the car to make the final leg of the trip into CDA. The drive from Bend to CDA was fast and scenic. We rolled into town at about 5pm to find most of the 'crew' arriving at just about the same time. In the lobby we ran into Lo-lo, Wass, The Rocks, Melina, Scotty, and Dougie. The Fairfield Marriott has no idea what is about to hit it!

Tomorrow is sure to bring more IronMan adventures...be sure to stay tuned for more details!
