My Sister's Birthday Weekend

So, my sister came to visit Nov. 9-12 for her birthday. We actually took NO pictures. But, we did have a good time. Friday night we headed to our neighborhood pizza and wine joint called Villagio. It was so good. We had some pizza and salad and wine of course! We returned to watch some TV and chill. Saturday morning we left (after my WW meeting, of course, I lost .6) and headed out to do some errands and shopping. I really wanted to take her to the Milk Bottle http://experiencespokane.com/garlandvillage/ and have a cheeseburger and shake. It was so yummy and we even got a slice of homemade pecan pie for Tim. Then we checked out some of the shops, Ruby Slipper and the Tin Man. From there we headed out to Liberty Lake, WA...checking it out and seeing the library and the children's library. Then, as we headed back, decided to stop at the mall...we hadn't been shopping in awhile. I was on the hunt for some boots and my sister just wanted to shop some. So, we had a great time walking all over and shopping. When we left there it was getting late, I had one more stop to make. Latah Creek Winery for a wine tasting http://www.latahcreek.com/ she enjoyed that. Then we headed home to make dinner. Tim had made some spinach pasta and some chicken and ricotta filling, my sister got to stuff her own ravioli and then we cooked that up with some tomato cream sauce, garlic bread and broccoli. It was SOOOOO good. Then after seeing the rebirth of so many 80s fashions in the mall, we watched FLASHDANCE, neither of us had seen it before. It was fun! Sunday we had bullseye eggs for breakfast, then headed downtown to catch a pre-12noon show of FRED CLAUS (funny!) and then walk around the Riverfront Park, see the falls and look around. Then lunch/dinner about 3pm was at the Peacock Room in the Davenport Hotel. I finally found some shoestring fries in Spokane!! The food and the drinks were great. Once we left there we were pretty tired. We hung out at home for the rest of the night. She left Monday morning...it was a great weekend!! Many Happy Returns of the Day lil T!
