Our 23rd Anniversary

Much to my dismay, there are no nice restaurants open on Sundays in Moscow, Pullman or Lewiston. What to do to celebrate our anniversary? With our move to Texas just around the corner, we didn’t want to drive far to celebrate.

So, we used some creativity…

After church we stopped at the Moscow Co-op and picked up a loaf of hot, fresh Salted French Bread (yum!) and a bottle of chilled Camas Prairie Chardonnay. Then, we picked up our dog and headed to a park with cheese and meat. We found a shady spot and spent the next few hours relaxing.

The Chardonnay was delicious. Of course, anything chilled on a ninety plus day tastes great. I can’t believe we didn’t try this wine earlier in our stay here in Moscow. Camas Prairie is a local winery that has some terrific reds. Their Chardonnay was buttery with a slight hint of oak….just the way we like a chardonnay.

Later, we drove to Uniontown to see a photo exhibit at the Dahmen Gallery and the Catholic Church. The Uniontown Catholic Church was the first church registered in Washington, back around 1910. Finally, we headed to Eleanor’s for a drink and a bite to eat. Eleanor’s is a quaint burger joint that Steve visited earlier this year.

This wasn’t your normal way to celebrate an anniversary, but I had a blast. Who wouldn’t enjoy a couple of hours with a great glass of wine, a book to read and a husband playing his guitar.
