Day 3 - Gillette, WY to Spokane, WA

Some said it couldn't be done, but I managed to drive from Wyoming to Washington today! I am sitting in my very comfy hotel room in Downtown Spokane, and I got it at a fantastic price! Schmoopee decided that she wanted to setup camp in the lobby because they had a tile floor, so I had to carry her into the elevator, then alllllll the way to the other end of this hotel hallway and into the room! What a spoiled dog!!! In the morning when we check out I'm using the luggage cart to move her downstairs if she gets lazy again lol.... I'm not carrying her again! :p

Today's drive was my longest, but honestly it didn't feel as bad as the last two days... Wyoming was pretty but boring after a while, Montana was pretty but lasted forever lol, but Idaho was gorgeous! The drive from the Montana border - west on I-90 would be sooooo much fun in a true driving car! The route through the mountains is a continual series of S-turns, if you ever get a chance to roll through there and you have a vehicle that is fun to drive and handles well, do it!! Driving into Spokane put a smile on my face, I cannot believe that I am in Washington... I have always wanted to visit WA - Seattle specifically - but Spokane is such a nifty town! I wish I had the energy to go for a walk, it looks just lovely and there were a few restaurants I wanted to look at for dinner... But I'm just too tired after taking my shower.

Tomorrow I can sleep in, decide a nice scenic route to take into Seattle, and in the evening I will meet with a photographer that I met at The Rolex Kentucky Four-Star Event... He and his wife are being so kind as to put me and Schmoopee up for the night! The kindness I have received from people since I announced my big move has been incredible, so many people have pitched in equipment they don't use, time, a place to sleep, and I am so grateful! I hope that you all know that it means a great deal to me to know that everyone supports me in this decision. It really has been hard to leave the people who are so important to me behind, but I won't be gone forever, and you are all welcome to come visit! ;)
