Road trip for G& J, up to Lake Coeur d'Alene to stay in WorldMark timeshare, the penthouse. Top. three windows plus two small to right.Companions: granddaughter Jessie (8), her BGF Katie (8), and Mandy, Jessie's cousin from Idaho who is babysitting her all summer.
I call this picture "3 girls-to-go" in the pickup backseat.
The resort was out on the lake, a good half-hour from the town of Coeur d'Alene. Weather when we got there was grey and chilly, but the penthouse thrilled us all--especially the girls who thought it all rawther gorgeous. Three bedrooms, each with its own TV. Two baths (adults had a bathroom "suite"), fully equipped laundry room, not just "closet appliances," huge kitchen with breakfast bar, full dining room level a step up from the living room, which had a lake-view balcony. Master suite had lovely little chaise (actually a chair plus ottoman) where I could sit and view the lake. First time for us resort members to be able to rent a penthouse unit. Gary reminded me, "Don't get used to it. " [wink]
The next day, Gary took the girls to Silverwood Theme Park where they had a blast! He gave each girl $20 to spend however they liked, reminding them there would be no additional monies, "So don't even ask." They didn't and they played games and won stuffed animal prizes and bought jewelry and cotton candy.....well, you get the picture. Me? Grandma? Oh, I don't do carnival rides and such, so I stayed at resort and read and read read--to my heart's content.
On the return trip, they did stop at the grocery store, so we had much more to eat that night and the next morning for breakfast before getting back into the pickup and heading back home.
Oh, the lake? Couldn't see all that much of it for other buildings along the shore in front of ours. Oh, well. Still.....a penthouse experience. Who cares?
