The
whole left side of my family comes from Spokane, Washington.
That
would be my father’s side, if you’re wondering.
If
you have never been to Spokane, I recommend that you go. For fun. Not for
vacation; I wouldn’t call it a resort destination. It is a very nice little
town that has grown quite a bit since my father left it. But it is still very
much the same kind of somewhat redneck farm town it has always been. True,
Larry’s World of Guns has been closed for a while (what’s better than a firing
range with a bar?) but it’s still a fun trip.
My
family still lives there so I go and visit every couple of years. I’ve gone on
my own as well as with my family. I like it up there; it has a kind of
solidness that I miss in Denver. I especially love to visit in the winter; my
cousins and I go snowboarding and ice skating.
I’m
pretty sure we’re going to Spokane for Christmas this year. I’ll be taking my
boyfriend with me if I go. It will be fun to introduce him to the world of
Spokane.
Challenge
to my Readers:
Family
is important. Make the effort to visit them on their home front.
