Weekend in Spokane

Jake had a Respiratory Therapist convention in Spokane the end of spring break, so we decided to let the girls miss two additional days of school and we tagged along.  I'm so glad we did.  We had a great time!

Since Jake was busy with his conference during most of the days, the kids and I got to explore the city and have so fun.  First stop, the Riverfront park!

The girls all thought it was great fun sitting on their own letter.

And they LOVED this giant Radio Flyer wagon with the big slide.  Especially Crew.  He was in constant motion going up and down that thing.
We spent time playing at the playground and walking around the park discovering a cool suspension bridge and admiring the waterfalls.  They were good troopers with all the walking we did.
Later, after Jake was done, we came back and took the gondola ride.  It was short, but the kids loved riding over the river.
We had such beautiful weather.  It was perfect.





The next day, we set out for Manito Park on a recommendation from a friend.  The girls LOVED running through Duncan gardens- they felt just like princesses!  I would love to go back here when everything is in bloom- it would be gorgeous!

We also explored the Japanese Gardens and watched all the Koi fish.
We spent lots of time swimming in the pool, relaxing in the room and just being together as a family.  It was nice to get away from all the distractions of home and just have time together.  And the girls thought it was the.best.thing.ever.
