Washington State University looked glorious on this sun splashed day. Ruth Ann had chosen some interesting and fun things to do. We drove over to campus and parked near the biology building and the Connor Museum. It holds the largest public collection of birds and mammals in the Pacific Northwest. Most of the collection came from the State of Washington's exhibits from the Chicago World's Fair in 1893 !
The exhibits were amazing ! Here's a small selection of pics :
I saw hundreds of these pronghorns all throughout Wyoming and Montana :
It's worth a visit, if you're here to watch a Cougar football/lacrosse/basketball/baseball game, or for a yummy and fun visit with RA and David, or traveling through town to get to famous, winding Hwy.12 to go over Lolo Pass on your way to Yellowstone, . . or Ben & Christin's home -
We walked around campus and I had to take a few pics . .
Then, a yummy trip over to Ferdinand's Ice Cream Shoppe at WSU's Creamery. It features old-fashioned ice cream and fountain treats. Flavors include 'Apple Cup' Crisp, Blackberry Ripple, Cappuccino Chip, Caramel Cashew, Cougar Tracks, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Huckleberry Ripple, Tin Lizzy Classic, etc.
Wow ! So yummy. We drove over to Moscow, Idaho for lunch at 'Bloom', which was next to the old Hotel Moscow, built in 1892.
AND, when we arrived home, ANOTHER treat, a NAP ! Must've been the road sapping energy that was replaced. It felt great. I'm finishing this post very early so I can visit with Ruth Ann and David and enjoy more time on the deck in this beautiful weather before the long trek home tomorrow, through Colfax, the Palouse hills and views of Yakima Basalt outcroppings on the way to Washtucna, the Tri-Cities valley and Columbia River Crossing, and the last segment of the Oregon Trail down the ultra spectacular Columbia River gorge !! ❤
