I've heard through family intelligence that we were passing along a significant landmark in family history along our way to Glacier National Park. Just a few blocks off I-90 along Sherman Street in Coeur d'Alene Idaho is the prestigious and romantic Sandman Motel. My Uncle Kim went all out for his honeymoon with my Aunt Mimi here many many moons ago. We decided to stop by and imagine the magic of that first night....
I wonder what room they stayed in? 102, 103? The one with the shaggin wagon outside? Alas, as much as Beth and I wanted to stay in this great hotel it was not meant to be. The sandman is now a half-way house run by the Catholics!
Oh my....Uncle Kim quite the romantic....it's that Montana blood I'm telling you...he probably thought a step up from a tent, so why not...hopefully the Catholics are getting better utilization of the facility than what Uncle Kim got out of it that night 8-)
