We started off our trip toward Boise where we were able to stop and see Mindy, another great friend from Utah State. She works at a bakery and shared some delicious cookies with us. She is going to start up her own baked goods called "Sugar Whipped" (cute name huh?!) which is way cool. On our way out of town Mindy mentioned we should grab lunch from a place called the "Bleu Bird" down town Boise.... Oh. My. Goodness. It was so good! I was nervous because the sandwich I got us had turkey, brie cheese, apple slices, arugula, fig jam, and mustard... Pretty sure I wouldn't think to combine some of those things, but holy cow was it tasty!
Our next stop was Walla Walla, Washington to see Brooke and Brad. They live in the the cutest little town where Brad is finishing up school. They showed us around town and we ate some awesome food at "The Olive". Our pizza had grapes on it... Again I was skeptical, but it was super good. (We are all about the cool places with unique amazing food. We spent the night at their place and then checked out the farmers market before we left. We got a nice juicy bag of cherries for the car ride to our next stop.
We made our way over to Spokane to visit Doug. As luck would have it, we ended up visiting the same weekend as Hoopfest! You know... Only the biggest 3 vs 3 basketball tournament in the world! No big deal. We had fun walking around downtown and checking out all of the different games. And believe me... There were a lot of different games going on! I've never seen so many basketball hoops in my life. After we checked out Gonzaga University and Jack and Dan's Bar and Grill because we are big John Stockton fans. We spent the night at Doug's and then hit a ward by the Spokane Temple on our way to our destination.
It was awesome seeing everyone on our trip, and I'm really glad it worked out to see them.
I'm so jealous!! What a fun trip! I miss everyone.
