The Coeur d'Alene Resort








Katrina and I met up with Ismo and Christina on Thursday before New Year's Eve. We ate lunch in Post Falls at the White House a.k.a the garlic factory! When drove another 15 minutes east to the CDA Resort which was covered in snow and thousands of Christmas lights. In fact, the light show is the biggest of its kind in the U.S. We took a chilly boat cruise to see the "North Pole" and the largest living Christmas lit tree in the world. It was taller than the Rockefeller's and U.S. White House's tree combined. We ate great food, sat by the blazing fire to warm ourselves, and enjoyed the hot tub, pool, and saunas. I visited my favorite local coffee roaster, Doma. Another nice treat was that both of our rooms were upgrade to a view looking west over CDA Lake. I spent a few moments on the boat cruise reflecting God's goodness in 2007! The majesty of the NW outdoors blanketed in snow inspired me to praise God and want to be a part of His plans of blessing in 2008. Katrina and I are so blessed with God's provision that we want to see many more people join God's family and experience the peace, joy, and thankfulness in our spirits.
