I apologize for the lack of post in the last few weeks. If you follow me on Instagram you know that I’ve been on an epic road trip with my family and traveling through America's forested Northwest to the desert Southwest. I’m very sad that it had come to an end, but very happy to be home and reunited with my shower, bed and closet.

In the next few weeks I’ll post many of the photos and places we’ve been. I’ve already shared our adventure from California, Oregon, and Washington. Today I’m sharing one of my favorite places of our epic road trip – Sandpoint, Idaho. We spent nine days at a wonderful vacation rental home known as Lakeshore Lodge in Dover, the town immediately next to Sandpoint. Our friends Scott and Nori own this beautiful property. They were so kind to share their beautiful lake home with my family. And Scott’s parents made us homemade - huckleberry pancakes!

We had so much fun and my kids are already making plans to go back next summer. Here are some of the photos of Lakeshore Lodge and the lake.
