Lunch at Manito Park

We spent the night in Spokane last night as I had an appointment with the podiatrist this morning and didn't want to turn around a drive back up again.

It's a bit cooler in Eastern Washington today, only in the mid-nineties. Auntie Violet was still very warm when we got home this afternoon, though!

Forry had picked up a fishwich at Burger King (I had a Starbuck's caramel frappachino) and we decided to go up to Manito Park to eat lunch at the duck pond. After the intense three digit heat we've had the last week, it was quite pleasant in the shade.

The water in the pond is definitely green! There are signs all over -- even painted on the sidewalk -- asking people to please not feed the ducks. But, everytime we stop by there's always a family or group of kids with bags of stale bread.
