I have always given Brett a little bit of a hard time about being from Spokane(a.k.a Mullet capital USA). However we took a trip up there a few weeks ago and it did soften my heart - just a little. They have a great little downtown area and it is quite beautiful. We stayed in a hotel that was within waling distance of downtown, so we spent the whole day exploring. We found lots of fun things to do.

It was a great day in Spoake.
I do need to record a little conversation we had that does reflect the true "Spokane Spirit". After living in New York, Brett and I enjoy trying local favorite food places where ever we go. We went out to dinner and then asked the server where we could get some great ice cream in downtown. His response was classic:
" Well, we have a BaskinRobbins and is it AMAZING. There is a this place called Ben and Jerry's which is good, too." We just tried to suppress our snooty giggles.
Ah Spoakne it doesn't take much to impress. That is a good thing. |
