There are so many things to do in Coeur d’Alene, it’s hard to decide what to choose. One day we just decided to head to downtown, park lakeside & just wander the shops. It is so charming & there is anything & everything one could ever want down there. Amazing eateries, boutiques & all the adorable little things you could ever possibly purchase. We checked out the lake- took in the view for a while. Then we started walking- just window shopping & taking a mental note of all the places we want to be sure to come back to for certain gift occasions coming up & when we want someplace new to dine. I was already making my mental Christmas gift list for next year. So many things I wish we had time to put together before gifts mailed out this past Christmas- but now I know & I have time to do it. Yay!! I love these calm days of family time just enjoying our new surroundings here & doing a little shopping to support the locally owned small businesses too. I still feel like we are on vacation. It has not really sunk in yet that we don’t have to leave & head back to Nevada. This is such a family friendly town- I am so excited about all the things to do here. We will definitely be able to take advantage of so many of them as the seasons change.
I think I will be here often. Plus they use my favorite hibiscus flower (in my fav color)!
Just past here was a locally owned camera shop.
Hello!! New favorite place!
Have a great weekend!

It’s charming, and reminds me of my hometown in the burbs of Chicago…minus your beautiful background of course. Living on the gulf coast I still feel like I’m on vacation and am looking so forward to some beach time! (I think I would be at the chocolate store too…often)

Oh what a cute town. I love exploring new places. You are going to have so much fun there. And a camera shop to boot? Nice!
My father tried to talk my husband and I to moving here 10 years ago! We didn’t listen…I am kinda of sorry now after seeing your pictures.
Ahhhh – Okay, no joke…..people laugh when I tell them that I am from Idaho. They just don’t get it. I loved looking at your photos – it literally brings me home!
My parents live just minutes from Downtown Cd’A…… One of their town favorites is Capones. GOOOOOD pizza.
I can’t wait to see more of your Idaho photos.
