Washington Adventure Part VII

On Day Seven of the Great Western Adventure, we played "tourists" around Spokane, that was after our GREAT breakfast at our hotel. We stayed at the Shilo Hotel in Downtown Spokane, and I would recommend it highly...especially the breakfast and pool/hot tub. Mostly what we did was walk around the Riverfront Park, which was an industrial area that was redone for the 1974 World's Fair. There were a lot of neat things to see as well as a swing set/park that the girls enjoyed. Here are some pictures of our seventh day...It is hard to see from this picture,

but the irony in the sign is that,

anyone that would jump in here to swim, is doing so

because they don't care what the sign says...

the water is moving pretty fast and there is a pretty good current going byMy sweet baby on the swings...Abbie and her daddy on the Looff Carousel.

This carousel was hand made by the same man who

made the original one on Coney Island in NYC.

It is almost 100 years old. Abbie loved her ride.The plaque commemorating the World's Fair countries of 1974...

it was interesting to see that with many of

these countries our relationship has soured

the water headed toward Spokane Falls...

I couldn't get a good pic of the actual falls
