The happiest place on earth

We went over to Pullman this year for homecoming! Both Matt and I have not been back in 3-4 years, and I was really looking forward to it. We of course had to hit up all our old haunts, and we packed a ton into 2 1/2 days.

Day one included dinner at Rancho (our favorite mexican restaurant in Pullman), and then drinks at Rico's across the street. I also went over to the AXO house to meet with the other alums and see the new girls in the house. Afterwards we took a walk up on campus to see all that was new, lots of upgrades the last few years it seems to the CUB and Bookie.

Day two... we got up early (to Matt's dismay) so that I could make sure we got a table at our favorite bar in town, The Coug. First we went over to Crimson and Grey to check out the new coug gear, and I bought a flag for the front of our house to put up on football saturdays. We then headed over to Daily Grind for coffee.... and then got our spot at the Coug at 10am. The whole day was a blast, we met up with friends to Tailgate later, ran into some old friends at the game, and enjoyed being back at good old WSU. We ended the day over in Moscow at another favorite mexican restaurant with a big group of friends, and then after attempting the crazy bars... headed back to Kirstin and Tim's house for board games.

Day three.... we hit up yet another restaurant, Emerald! This was our favorite chinese place in college, and when Matt and I first started dating we went there often. And then... back on the road for 5 hours. The drive was worth it though and I'm so glad we went back, definitley something we'll have to do every couple years.

A few random pictures below... mostly from the road while I was bored.

A new addition to the scenery on the drive through Eastern Washington. Cool to see all the wind farms creating engergy.
