There’s A Lot To See in Spokane

16 Comments/ 441/ 1

When Chris and I decided to spend the night in Spokane we didn’t think we would have time to do much exploring.  Fortunately for us we were wrong about that and spent a nice long morning exploring a bit of the city.spokane9We spent a few hours walking around the riverfront area where there are a lot of great things to look at.  spokane10The huge Radio Flyer wagon was an eye catcher and of course I had to try my hand at going down.  No wax paper needed on this one.spokane3Man made waterfalls caught my eye along with a lot of great sculptures and art installations.spokane14
spokane11One of the neatest things we saw was an art installation of people running.  It was pretty amazing.  The pictures I took do not do it justice at all.spokane8

spokane5There is a lot of history in this area and there were many markers located throughout the area that highlighted historical events and places.spokane4There is always so much to see when we visit a place like Spokane and I rarely feel that I can do it justice with just a few pictures.  But I try.spokane2

spokaneWe were really impressed with the Washington State Pavilion area. spokane18

spokane17A bell tower across the water was very eye catching and the perfect thing to photograph on an overcast day.spokane13

spokane16My favorite statue was the the one honoring Lt. Col Michael P Anderson, Astronaut of the Space Shuttle Columbia.  I loved his quote and the sculpture that was erected in his honor.

spokane15Spokane has so much to offer, so many places to explore and visit.  An unplanned stop was the highlight of our trip.

How do you plan trips?  Do you plan out every single details or do you allow some time for surprises and side trips like we did with our stop in Spokane?  Let me know in the comments and remember that every comment this month means a 50 cent donation to our Comments for a Cause —The Connestee Fire Rescue Auxillary.
