The Best Honey-Do List Ever

Send my husband to do my dirty work? Sometimes.

He has been to craft stores, linen stores, hauled props in his truck, cut handouts, bought catering pans, you name it.

Does he mind? Not this time.  At Framework, when we first heard about a new stock car racing school just 15 minutes from us, I thought - hmmm, will have to check that out.  Then realizing that if I undertook this test drive while sending my best friend/husband out for more honey-dos, I was going to be in trouble. The fact that he is a better driver than me didn't factor into it. Really.

He did the "Racing 101" class. Two hours of class, then 35 laps. That's 35 laps of him driving - no ride-alongs here. He LOVED it.  Get there, and get there FAST!

The Best Bird's Eye View Around

Want to see Idaho and Montana from the best vantage point ever?  The Route of the Hiawatha is for you!
This rails-to-trails conversion offers some of the best views of the area you can get without your own plane.  They got some great coverage lately in the USA Today - check it out here: http://www.usatoday.com/travel/destinations/10great/2010-05-20-bike-rail-trails_N.htm?csp=usat.me


Our travelers to Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho (both individuals and groups) have loved this activity - plan for about 2.5 hours to really enjoy the ride. What makes the Hiawatha so unique are the 10 tunnels and 7 trestles along the 15-mile ride.

See their great photos athttp://skilookout.com/hiawatha/ And, for those of you like me who are seriously athletically-challenged, you should be pleased to learn it is (mostly) downhill!
