.. Road Trip ..

kids and I traveled across the 

Cascades to visit family

my dad made me beautiful 

Adirondack chairs for my porch

the drive was splendid

the weather was a bit chilly

we hit snow in White Pass

and not just a little

tulips were out in all their glory at Mossy Rock

we all love Spokane

especially Manito Park

Gaiser Conservatory, Manito Park

 

it was just one massive explosion of color!!

the west wing is the cactus garden

  orchid cactus

the grounds were abloom as well

** W A R N I N G **

you had to watch out for those crafty 

law enforcement personnel 

Spokane is an awesome little city 

on the eastern border of Washington

downtown is full of history and detail

including the absolutely divine 

Davenport Historic Hotel

{left corner}

Spokane is famous for her falls

which were quite ravenous

now you may be thinking

"Spokane, Spokane

seems familiar..

how do I know Spokane"

Benny & Joon ... of course

"You can't throw him out, I won him!"
