Spokane with Heidi

My pictures are backwards. We visited a winery towards the end of the day. It was at an historical site on a hill overlooking Spokane and the Spokane River.
This is the original home built in 1924. There are lots of rock structures attached to the house and on the grounds. The flowers were beautiful.

Here's another view from on top of the hill at the winery.

The gatekeeper's house.

Where the wine tasting takes place.

Riverfront Park where the World's Expo was held in 1974.

Flowers at the park.

Alan and Heidi on their big red wagon at Riverfront Park.

There was a carousel at Riverfront Park. This horse was hand made by the original carver, Looff. It is inlaid with gemstones.

Heidi is riding one of the 6 armored horses hand carved by Looff. There was a ring game where the rider can lean out a grab a ring then toss them into the clown as they go around. I tried taking pictures of Heidi leaning out and grabbing the ring but my camera wouldn't click that fast. When the ring makes it into the clown a bell rings. She made the bell ring! Go Heidi.

Alan and Heidi walking downtown when we were shopping.

So this post is of our first day in Spokane. This morning we're all tired from all the walking we did yesterday. Oh yeah, I DID get to visit one quilt shop while Heidi and Alan stayed in the car. What a find--Fat Quarters Thursday--$1/fat quarter!!!!! Plus we also found a butcher shop that had all kinds of spices, smokers, books, knives, butcher equipment. We picked up lots of brochures and bought several BBQ rubs. Yum.

So hope you enjoyed our visit to Spokane downtown.

'til next time....

from sea to shining sea......
