Miles 3482-3735: Duck Inn and Drive to Spokane
Yesterday morning, I woke up when Dad left the room for coffee. I followed him and we sat together on the porch. It was really quiet and peaceful, especially compared to the last night. Mom went to yoga downtown, and we had breakfast. I had another waffle with strawberries and bananas and tea. When Mom came back, we packed up and left Whitefish for Spokane, Washington. Shout-out to Tyler, Mark, and Alyssa!! The Duck Inn was an amazing place to stay and you guys were so helpful. The rooms were very comfortable and the breakfasts were delicious. Thanks for providing such an awesome environment. I would definitely recommend the Duck Inn to anyone who needs a place to stay in Whitefish. On our way to Whitefish, we stopped in Libby, Montana, for lunch at Cabinet Mountain Brewing Company. It was really good food at a very cheap price. We stopped at one more place before Spokane: Kootenai Falls. It was a bit of a walk to the Kootenai River and Falls, but it was a pretty overlook. First we went to a swinging bridge down the river from the falls. It was less of a place to watch the river and more of a small thrill for people who wanted to say they had walked over a swinging bridge. It was kind of fun though. The overlook of the falls was pretty. It was more extreme rapids than a waterfall, but it was still cool.
We got back in the car and drove to the Montvale Hotel in Spokane. After we unpacked, we went to dinner at Steam Plant, where we got brisket nachos and I split pasta primavera with Mom. Spokane was a little sketchy, but we walked down by the riverfront, where there was a Fourth of July carnival. Once we got back to the hotel, we watched the Return of the Jedi while we blogged about Glacier National Park.
