Walla Walla

A few pics from our recent trip to Walla Walla... we walked til our legs were worn out, ate European style platters, and took in the sights in this beautiful town. Walla Walla is home to all sorts of fanciful boutiques, quaint restaurants, and a bountiful farmers' market.



A cute puppy dog statue.


Downtown





A mid-afternoon refresher at Salumiere Cesario.





                                            
 I ordered the Ploughman's Platter; a mini baguette, spicy mustard spread, fine cheese, meat, and roasted almonds. 



And, husband ordered the Lunchbox Special, which included figs, roasted nuts, and fruit!


Here is Sweet Basil Pizzeria, a favorite of my father's. He's been known to purchase growlers there. If you don't know what a growler is, research it. 

We came here for lunch about a year ago on our first trip to Walla Walla, and loved it's trendy interior and plethora of New York pizzas and fresh salads.



After more walking, we drove through the campus of Whitman College. It reminded me a little of where we went to college; old brick buildings brimming with history, and long tree lined streets. For a moment I longed for new notebooks, brainy professors, and studying in the quad. 






If you haven't been to Walla Walla, please visit. You won't be disappointed in the sweet town. Also, if you are a wine lover, you can't find a better place to spend a relaxing weekend. Wineries are plentiful on either side of Walla Walla. Now, that would be a great future post...


Hugs,
