Savoring the Season

IMG_E3406.JPG

‘Tis the season for making some magical memories. The Spokane and Coeur d’Alene scene is just busting at the seams with wonderful events and activities to attend and enjoy during this holiday season. Our family of 5 had a very special and memorable evening around downtown last weekend: We enjoyed a horse and carriage ride, visited Christmas tree elegance at the Historic Davenport hotel and several other fun activities as we wandered around. As we get closer to Christmas I continue to make more plans for our little family to get out and about in our community to make more treasured memories. I was having a hard time keeping track of that is being offered so I started saving the events on Facebook, then I had the thought that perhaps you all would enjoy this list as well. I’ve linked every event or activity so you can get the additional information and important details. Happy savoring the season. :)
