Not only did sis and I enjoy the "Farm Chicks" show all day Saturday, we managed to include other fun adventures.
My amazing sister treated me to a two night stay at the famous Spokane historic "Davenport Hotel". I felt like a queen in this luxurious palace. There's nothing like sister time, just the two of us, staying up past midnight chatting about anything and everything. Of course we had our favorite treats to sip & munch on.
Our weekend started off with meeting at one of Cindy's favorite rose nurseries somewhere in Spokane out in the country, thank the Lord I had a GPS, I missed the turn off and for those that know me I'm horrible with directions. So there I was driving all over the place trying to get back on track...that darling little GPS works like a charm, ya just have to listen to it and follow the directions. As I pulled into this amazing place, there was sis waving at me
Once we checked into the Davenport, we took a stroll down to the river walk area. I was here many years ago, back in the mid 70's for a world's fair. Some of the remnants of the fair still remain.
Enjoyed a great "early bird" special at the Davenport in the Fireside room, then walked the entire place reading all about the history and peeking in on all the ballrooms, my camera was busy.
Saturday morning (before the Farm Chicks) we found a local "Art Walk", so relaxing and a beautiful sunny morning. Talk about a small world, I actually met a couple selling their art from "Philipsburg", my town!! By noon we were ready to head to the Farm Chicks event. Read post below for that adventure, it was fabulous!!!!
That evening after resting a bit back in our hotel room, we walked to this Latin restaurant called, "Agave", highly recommend by the hotel concierge. I had my first pomegranate "Mojito", I've been hearing about these refreshing drinks made with fresh mint. Then came our grilled "Mahi Mahi" with fresh vegetables and all the trimmings. A great way to end our fun day!
Sunday we lounged in our fancy room, had coffee in the lobby and had to hit one more spot (World Market) before we had to say goodbye and head different directions for
home. We had the best time together, thanks again sis for blessing me with your love and kindness.
Here's the great "finds" I came home with from the Farm Chicks show.

| Notice the detail shelf that was added to the creamy vanity, that's what caught my eye. |

It is wonderful that you beautiful gals were able to get together this way and have so much fun and the time to have some good conversation without interruptions. I'd love to do something like this with my sister one day. Not this summer, but maybe next!
Isn't the Davenport magnificent? My sis and I did not stay there but we toured it and also ate there last November on our first ever visit to Spokane. You both look great! It's fun to spend time with our sisters.
What a beautiful hotel! Between staying there and the Farm Chicks Show it looks and sounds like it was a "wonderful" weekend for you two! Treasured time well spent :o)

You are very blessed to have a sister, and particularly a sister where you both get on so well and can do trips like this together.
Enjoyed this tour, like a town in an old movie in places. The runner sculptures are quite something.
