We purchased tickets to the Vocal Point concert that was being held at the North Idaho College campus in Coeur d'Alene. Mom had just shared a Friends discount at a newly opened hotel in CDA, so we decided to make a mini-vacation out of the event.
We checked into the Springhill Suites on Seltice Way and went up to get settled into our room. The hotel had a modern feel, but reminiscent of style and coloring from the 60's. I believe when we checked in it had only been open a month or two. Here is our hotel room. Normally $129/night, the deal mom shared with us ended up being $85 including taxes.
We headed to downtown Coeur d'Alene for dinner at Tito's Italian Grill. The food was delicious - John ordered chicken fettuccine, I ordered lasagna and Audrey had their Spaghetti Pomodor. We were too full to order dessert, so we headed to the small shops to walk off the calories before the show.
The concert started at 7pm so we headed over to North Idaho College. The premier seats were gone when I ordered tickets, but was able to get the deluxe seats, so had assigned seating. They also had general seating so we kind of stayed out of the way of those standing in line for those since our seats were waiting for us. Except for the lady sitting next to me pulling our her cell phone to text during the entire concert (acting like a teenager, not an adult...) we had a wonderful time. I really enjoyed the a cappella sounds from this 9 member male group. They sang an assortment of songs, new and old, funny and serious and were very entertaining. Fun time and fun "vacation" for us!
