Fall Visit to Spokane

Toward the end of our fall trip in 2016, we spent several days in Spokane to see my husband's family, and visit some of our favorite places. When possible, we like to stay at the Historic Davenport Hotel in downtown Spokane. We both enjoy old-school, downtown hotels when it works into our budget, and the Davenport is one of the best we've found. (Some people buy RVs, summer cabins, or time shares – we like old hotels)!

We spent some time at the new Huntington Park near Washington Water Power (now called Avista) on the Spokane River, and enjoyed the river vistas and the fall colors. We also spent time in the Riverfront Park (where the 1974 World's Fair was held) for great restaurants and a movie theater. We had a chance to eat a late breakfast at Frank's Diner, which operates out of a charming red caboose.

Best of all, we visited family members living in nearby Deer Park, and in the Spokane Valley. It's always a treat to catch up on each other (in person, not just on social media), and hear family stories and recollections from the past.
