Horse. Flea. Athlete.
This had to be our most diverse day: the Itty Bitty Horse Show, a Flea Market, and the inspiring finish of the Ironman 70.3. So dang fun!
We returned to the Kootenai Fairgrounds for a new Miniature Horse & Pony Show. What fun seeing these little guys strut their stuff.
The Roosevelt is Coeur d’Alene’s oldest remaining schoolhouse (1905-1972) and is where the owner attended first through fourth grades. Converted to an Inn in 1994, this one time 4-room school house is now a grand five story bed and breakfast, complete with 14 rooms and suites.
We visited for the history and for the once-a-month Flea Market.
We enjoyed the setting, the live music, and the people-watching.
Our final stop was the finish line for the half Ironman that had been occurring all morning.
It was so fun to dine alongside the race course and watch all the cheering. The athletes were incredible. We found out that the men's winner did the entire course (1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run) in only 4 hours. The winning woman's time was 4 hours 28 minutes. WOW.
I had to borrow this sign just to remind my friend, Brady, that I'm a member of her Fan Club. When I sent this image to her she wrote back, "Ha ha. You brought your everyday sign to ID!"
I think what has surprised me most about this month in Coeur d'Alene is its diverse activities, most of which are free. We have loved it.
