Windy in Lake Chelan

We were expecting sun burns and splashing around in the cold lake water. What we got instead were wind burns and cold breezes forcing us to wrap up in beach blankets while we lay by the pool. It wasn't a typical eastern Washington, summer break but we did have a great time. We stayed at Campbell's Resort which is right in the town of Chelan, on the lake. We had a nice Mexican dinner at El Vaquero and also enjoyed tasting some of the local wines.
The white-caps died down on Monday morning so we took a wave-runner out for an hour before we checked out and hit the road. When we were planning this trip, we left our Monday lodging plans pretty loose so, I got online at Campbell's and made a reservation at the KOA in Missoula. We took highway WA-2 through Spokane and enjoyed seeing the quieter side of our state before rejoining I-90 and breezing through Idaho.
We dare not break tradition, so we took a pit stop in St. Regis and Kari was very tempted to keep heading North into the Flathead. We joked about how bad the roads got once we crossed the Montana state line and not much later we encountered several teams of road workers diverting traffic to work on the Interstate. We arrived in Missoula hungry and drove strait to the Fuddruckers for dinner.
After checked in to our little KOA kabin, Kari wanted to show me around her alma mater. We drove through Missoula to the University of Montana campus. Her sorority house is in a beautiful neighborhood and the main campus is also very nice with a large central clock tower and natural landscaping in the main 'oval'.
