Spokane, Washington

My family and I recently attended an event in Spokane, Washington. We didn't actually have as much time to explore (and Christmas shop!) as I had hoped and expected to but some of us did manage to squeeze a few things in so I thought I'd share those here. 

I always pay attention to downtown outdoor art and architecture when I travel. Downtown Spokane has some seriously gorgeous old architecture. I will warn though that this downtown area does not feel safe for me as a woman unless my husband is with us. 

The only thing I had time to do downtown was nine minutes in Auntie's Bookstore, almost exclusively spent un the children'ssection. I would have loved a longer adventure in here (is there a Christian section?!) but maybe next time. How fun are these teas?! Chapters Tea Co. 

The first evening had along enough break that we were able to run over to the mall. We live in a rural small town so travel often involves errands we can't do back home lol😆 

We got new planners + a stocking stuffer at Barnes & Noble, got a stocking stuffer at a Pokémon card store, and spent a few minutes browsing Faithful Chocolates & Christian Bookstore. 

We primarily eat food brought from home / prepped in our Airbnb these days but we did get a few things at Huckleberry's and we had planned for our last dinner to come from Method since we didn't have the airbnb kitchen anymore. My husband got the spicy ranch rice bowl, my son and I got chili (he got his over rice, I got mine without), and my girls got Blue Magic smoothie bowls. We also split cannellini cookie dough cups as an afternoon snack with apples. Everyone liked their meal. 

There are Little Free Libraries all over Spokane but only three it made sense to check out.

The event was very cool and overall it was a fun, though very hectic trip. We'll be back, and next time we'll explore a bit more!

I also have a previous Spokane post here.
