Beauty Creek

We left on Father's Day, after a brief gift giving.
One of the girls made a reduction block print of a Buddha and the other girl made a hand stitched silk neck tie. It was the first tie their papa has had since it was required in school.
Pretty amazing and thoughtful gifts, especially since it was done on their own. I had gotten a shirt for their papa in case they needed something last minute, but no. They were more than prepared.
We left home around noon, as planned, after a few last minute visitors stopped by to wish us well.

We stopped in Spokane for a pretty good Thai dinner.
The wood carvings were more beautiful than the food, but we are so spoiled in Portland with fabulous Thai on every corner.
There was an awesome Ganesha in the entry. Make sure to check it out if you go.

We camped the first night at Beauty Creek Campground.
The girls had their tent up before I had a fire going.
The creek was beautiful and it's just a stone's throw from Coeur d'Alene Lake.
Simple and rustic. Just right.
