This past weekend, we skipped town and headed to the Tri-Cities, an area called so because of the three neighboring cities: Pasco, Kennewick and Richland. We stayed in Pasco right beside the Gesa Stadium so we can watch the fireworks.
During the day, we went down to the Columbia River, and played in the water. Since the temperatures rose up to 105, the water was a nice relief. There is also a water play area for kids there. We didn't see it initially but did drive past it, and it looks pretty neat.
We drove past historic downtown Kennewick and Richland, and unfortunately, the shops seemed to have closed up for the holiday weekend. We did stop by a shop in downtown Richland that was so cute with lots of kitchen items, and I wish listed some items in my head for purchase for my new kitchen.
We found a yummy Indian restaurant one night and ate there. It was delicious, and made me miss Atlanta wildly. On July 4th, we did go to Texas Roadhouse. Brandon has never been there, and I felt it was appropriate for Independence Day. Brandon went with ribs, and I went with salmon. Full and happy, we headed back for fireworks from our hotel room.
Halfway through the week!
