Almost two years ago Grandma and I went on a trip to Coeur d' Alene Idaho. We had never been there and had heard a lot about how beautiful the city was. When we got there it was all water and trees so you coundn't see much. There was this float plane for hire so with this other couple to help pay the expense we took a ride. I was a little nervous but Mon wasn't. When you got up to take off speed when the plane lifted off the water you felt it lunge foreward a bit when the plane left the water. Landing was so smooth you never new when you touched the water.

The city is very beautiful and has an old section down town which we walked throught and Mon bought a Chicken something for the house. There are a lot of rich people and movie stars that have homes there. We flew over a area where there were eight eighteen hole golf courses within a few miles of each other. The pilot told us they were each privitely owned just for their own use. Some of the houses along the lake side were giganitic.
