The Last Night

Friday August 7, 2009
We are not sure if we are going to drive home today or just stay somewhere in Eastern Washington. We set out from Missoula after another wonderful Holiday Inn Express breakfast. We were still looking for some horse back riding and our search lead us into a little town called Wallace, Idaho. It is an old mining town, but when we asked about horse back riding, they said that there was none in the area. Dejectedly, we all got back in the car. We drove on until we saw a state park and decided to stop. When we pulled into the parking lot of Old Mission State Park, Mama was surprised to recognize the place. We had stopped here on a previous vacation, but the mission had been closed. After watching the visitor center's movie, we walked up to the mission. It was very beautiful inside, and we were all happy we made this particular stop (Besides Myles who stayed in the car). Since we made these two stops, we decided not to drive all the way home, and instead stop in Spokane, Washington.
When we got to Spokane, we immediately went to have a Costco lunch! Yay! Then we made reservations at the Ramada Inn. It did not have complimentary breakfast, but it did have an awesome giant water slide! Gavyn got to chooses where we went for dinner, and he wanted to do a grocery store dinner. We each got six dollars, and went into Safeway and bought whatever we wanted, as long as we had protein, healthy food, and a drink. Then we drove to the hotel room, and watched the new episode of Psych. Then we went to the pool, which was awesome because it was 8 feet deep. This is the first pool all trip that has been more than 5 feet. The water slide was also fun. We went back up to the room, showered, ate, and played a party game. It was a very fun last night of vacation.
