Last Minute Spokane Trip!


I had to make a last minute trip to Spokane to see my family this past few days and I had a TON of fun.  I didn't fit everything in that I wanted to, and there was way more construction that I did not anticipate, but other than that, I had a really good time.
This pic above was taken from my car as we went over the Columbia River….not my favorite part of the drive to say the least. (Yes, I have a little bridge fear!!) But it was a GORGEOUS day and the river just looked beautiful so I had to snap a pic!
One of the big highlights of my trip was all of the wonderful food I got to enjoy.  See, Tacoma has much to be desired when it comes to really good food.  I cannot find a good chinese restaurant over here for the life of me! 
I got to enjoy some yummy burgers and fries at Dick's Hamburgers (a Spokane staple).  For those of you who are not familiar with that joint, I must say it's dirt cheap food that is so delicious!!! 
I also enjoyed some fresh strawberries from Greenbluff. I wait for summer time to hit just for these strawberries because they are just THAT amazing.  
Now I just need some strawberry recipes LOL.
Best of all, I had my mom's cooking, and well, that just cannot be beat ;)
I hope you all have had a good last couple of days and are enjoying some nice weather! (It was high 80's in Spokane!!)
Until next time,
