This afternoon they all piled into the car again for an adventure into the town of Newport, Washington. It was only about 30 minutes away, right over the Idaho border. It was a good size town with a great historical museum. Lots of cool old stuff. There was a hunters cabin, pioneer cabin, church, school, fire lookout tower and a caboose that you could investigate.
Lots of old logging equipment, washing machines, and a collection of blow torches were of interest to my guys! They had lunch in a restaurant that was built before the town had electricity, and explored a couple of antique shops in town.
Tomorrow it's off to Coeur d Alene for a two night stay. It's only 30 minutes away, so we will be there in plenty of time to celebrate Jim's birthday.
