Fun in the Sun... er, rain.

Yesterday the women of the house decided to go to Spokane to do some shopping and just get out of Moscow for a bit. The weather up until yesterday had been beautiful - sunny, mid to high 70s, slight breeze... you get the picture. Yesterday it was cool (50s) and cloudy, and threatening rain. This happened to work out perfectly, though, because the three of us (me, jen, and her roommate Rachel) decided that cool rainy weather is the best for being in a big city. We had an amazing time - we finally got to do some decent clothes shopping (Moscow isn't exactly the fashion capital of Idaho....), and enjoyed some excellent coffee and sandwiches at a small cafe downtown. We were all excited when we found that they just put in a Melting Pot restaurant, but evidently everyone else in the city was as well, as they were booked until 9:30pm with reservations. So we opted for the old standard instead.... Outback Steakhouse, of course. We ate and the girls did some more shopping while I tried to get the car to start. I had accidentally left the headlights on while we were eating dinner, and came out to a dead battery. While I was on hold with AAA I was able to get it to turn over, thankfully. I called Jen as soon as I got it working, and her response was, "would it be bad for you to turn it off again? cause we just found a really cute store..." ... duh it would be bad. So I stayed with the running car while they shopped in the super cute store. Which was fine with me - I get shopped out pretty easily.

We had a wonderful time, and can't wait to travel together somewehre else.



Note: We didn't take this picture. It wasn't rainy enough to need umbrellas.
