I was able to go on a girl's weekend with two of my favorite Beckys. My dear friend Becky and cousin/friend Becky became good friends after I introduced them. They are amazing women and we had a great time. We wanted to stay somewhere in between Portland and Seattle and Centralia was a great midway point. Centralia has always just been a gas stop so it was fun to discover that there is more to this little town than meets the eye. We stayed at the Historic Centralia Grand and we had several "things". We ate at only local, non-chain restaurants and we walked everywhere.
We went outlet shopping and as we walked back through town we came across this cute muffler shop. Read the sign carefully.
We shopped at every antique shop, boutique and book shop that we could. And we had good luck! Some Christmas shopping is D-O-N-E!
This Central Park made me laugh but it's cute in it's own little way.
A shot of downtown.
My favorite: an old book shop with shelves and shelves of books and piles of books so you never know what you're going to find. And the best part is when book shops are in old buildings and so there's all these side rooms that you can get lost in.
Becky and Becky introduced me to
McMenamin's which take old buildings and restore them to make fun restaurants.
Fun and quirky.
The park outside our hotel.
A favorite art walk next to a darling shop with an art studio--Hub Bub
It was the perfect getaway with the perfect company!!! I can't wait until the next time!
