Spokane Travel Blogs

About three weeks worth of Waterfall hunting. From California north through Oregon, Washington, then through Idaho and Monatana and Glacier National Park. Then south through Idaho, and Nevada before coming home.

Manito Gardens in southern Spokane was our next stop.  This is a super large city park and is divided up into several sections.  Japanese Gardens, Rose Gardens, etc.  You can drive around many of the areas and then stroll through the individual gardens.  It was quite a nice expe…

So after breakfast (luggage in tow) we went down to check out of the hotel, and they were kind enough to let us stay in the pool until we had to drive to the airport. It was quite a relaxing afternoon. Mom and I were still pretty tired so we didn't swim for very long, but we sat under one of the um…

Left Portland, Oregon on the Empire Builder right on time (4:45pm), only to be delayed for 20 minutes because of a cargo ship that caused the draw bridge to go up. I didn't mind, it was nice to watch the ship sail down the river. After you cross the river, you are in Washington State.I only had a c…

Flight was good. Have a wake…

Matt, Auni and I (three West Coasters attending Goucher College in Baltimore) drove from Baltimore, Maryland to Seattle, Washington in 10 days. Major cities hit: Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Denver, Boulder, Salt Lake City, Seattle.

I've grown up here. But as I wandered the streets I met several people who are also visitors.  I met a couple from Ohio, they were flying out later that day, but wanted to see the downtown area before they left.  As we talked, I realized I've never wandered around my own hometown.  I…

Sheese, If you look at the blog map, you'll notice I went a bit out of the way to day.  I saw a sign on I-90 just out of Coure D'Lane for a the CD'L Bi-Way.  Happy to get off the freeway, I figured it was just the old road to CD'L before the Interstate went in.  It wasn't it went tot…

My six day trip to southern France for an intensive with several dancers from the Bellydance Superstars - also my first time away from home on my own.

I took a month off from work in Boston and decided to drive to Los Angeles on a whim. Not one hotel room, and only four proper showers all month!

My 2008 family vacation

One trusty motorcycle and a great big desire to see this great big country!
