We knew the following day was moving day so our third day in Spokane was moving day so we knew that we wanted to just have an easy, uneventful day.
We started with breakfast at Franks Diner! There's a Franks diner in Tucson ( completely different owners/ different company) but since it was Sam and Patrick's favorite hangout spot in Tucson we obviously had to check it out!
Spokane Franks is fabulous in an old early 1900s train car.
There's almost always a long wait but it's definitely worth it. They have all your basic classic diner food- benedicts, omelets, waffles, hashbrowns, hot cakes.
And all in ridiculously huge portions of course! There is no breakfast more American than this delicious monstrosity! I had the cornedbeef hash with onions and peppers, two eggs and hashbrowns. Amazing.
And the train car itself is beautiful too!
After our huge breakfast Lauren and I headed downtown to have some tea and chats! We found Atticus Coffee & Giftshop named after To Kill a Mocking Bird. The gift shop was so cute with handcrafted items of all kinds.
Prints and bags and magnets... just about everything you could want and all locally made! The other half of the store is a very cute coffee shop with excellent tea! ( and while 3$ espressos are a regular price in the States it made my 1 Euro espresso seem all the nicer)
After a while, Sam and Mom joined us and we played a game called Ravine in which we had to work together to survive stranded on an Island. We all died immediately the first game but by the end we not only managed to build a shelter but to live to the rescue! It's a fun game!
Soon enough it was time for Lauren to head to Seattle 4hours away -- but not before taking some silly polaroids
It was good to catch-up and see her, even if was for such a brief period. Friends like these make the heart full.
Mom, Sam, and I headed for dinner and got ready for a big moving day! Spokane is a pretty great place to chill.
