Valentine's Day

For Valentines Day, I surprised J and planned a trip to Spokane to see one of his favorite bands.  I didn't get any homework done but it was well worth it.  We stayed at the Davenport, one of Spokanes oldest and fanciest hotels.

We started off our trip with  a walk down to Riverfront park shortly after arriving.  It was perfect timing because the sun was starting to set and it was beautiful. 

The view from our hotel room was gorgeous. And triggered our curiosity. 

We found out that the two large towers belonged to a bar and restaurant called the Steam Plant. We decided to head over for happy hour and some snacks before our first big event

The first night in town we found out that a comedian that I liked was in town and so we bought tickets and went. We had a blast!  She was so funny and it was also funny to watch the people that came to the show.  One guy was dressed like Waldo,  striped hat and all.  

The next day we start out the day at a restaurant that Jesse fell head over heels in love with.  It was an old train car that the owners had converted into a restaurant. The seating was a little tight but the food was fantastic.

Next we took a drive to Coeur D'alene.  

When we returned to Spokane we went back the Riverfront Park to explore all the parts we did not see the previous night and to ride the skyride which provides an up close view of the falls.

Sunday morning before hitting the road and heading back to Portland, we indulged in the Davenports famous Sunday Brunch held in the hotels famous atrium.
