Every year Sammy and I like to take a trip, just the two of us. We have been luck enough to get to plan this around a Shakey Graves concert, and this year was no different. I was SO excited when I learned Shakey was coming back to Spokane, our favorite city, and knew we had to go. We booked two nights in the same hotel we stayed in last year, The Montvale Hotel. We had just enough time to rest and get cleaned up before heading back out the door to see Shakey! We had an amazing night. He never disappoints! I was thankful we managed to get in early to snag some great seating up in the balcony! This go around, I decided to only take a few photos, and no videos, so I could really be in the moment and enjoy the concert as much as possible.
After breakfast, we walked around a bit and hit some shops, including River Park Square Mall, We decided to pass up on taking a ride on the carousel and skyride because we wanted to make sure we had time left in the day to visit our favorite place.....Manito Park, which includes Mirror Pond, Duncan Garden, Gaiser Conservatory, and Nishinomiya Tsutakawa Japanese Garden. By far my favorite thing to do in Spokane is to visit these beautiful parks and gardens. I'd go there daily if we lived in the area. I hope the people who live by Manito Park realize how damn lucky they are to have these treasures in their backyard.
