As you have probably gathered from my past posts and their involvement of food, I'm a person who is quite fond of select cuisine:) My current craving is for a croissant! Last weekend I randomly got a hankering for one of those delicate, flaky, buttery pastries and have been on a mission for one ever since. Sadly the types of recommendations I was getting in Spokane were for Starbucks and Safeway.... seriously! I was appalled at the thought of disgracing a croissant in such a way! Alas I decided the only solution was a trip to Seattle as they have the finest bakeries in Washington:)
My road trip to Seattle was different then usual... I was lucky enough to be able to leave work a bit early, quickly packed and was ready to go. But my fellow road trippers werent ready to hit the road for another hour. The trip started off with them making fun of my car, it's lack of cruise control(keep in mind the farthest I've ever taken my car is to the Tri Cities...), and then of course my music selection. The cd I made in my hour of free time was appreciated, until the first chords of country were heard through the speakers. And then quickly that cd was replaced... by the Spice Girls. It was deemed to be 'not the good one' so only lasted about half a song. Unfortunately I had a pounding headache for the whole trip so we listened to a little bit of Goo Goo Dolls, and then had silence to let my throbbing head rest.
McDonalds was our only stop of the trek, and oddly enough I saw the gentleman in charge of our host families. Though due to my headache I didn't say hello. Pretty sure he wouldn't have any clue as to who I was anyways. But yep after a bumpy ride to Issaquah my fellow car mates exited and I took over the steering wheel, cranked out the country music and attempted to make my way into Seattle. Though I've been here countless times, I've never actually been the one driving. Needless to say my knuckles were tightly gripped around the wheel! Thankfully I made it and so now am ready for a good night sleep so that when I wake up I can fully enjoy my delicious freshly baked croissant! I sure hope it's worth the journey!
A good friend recently moved to Montana... I was bummed about his departure from Spokane as well Polson Montana isn't quite on my top 5 places to visit... or really top 1000... it's Montana... there's not much to do there. Or so I thought... Everyone that I have told about Brandon's excursion to Montana has responded "it's pretty there". "Pretty" everyone has used that exact same word! To me "pretty" is code for, well there's nothing to do there, so we'll focus on the landscape... awesome... sure sounds like a place I want to check out! Nooot!
