They're having a whole bunch of stuff going on this weekend in the Tri Cities. The big seller is the hydro races down at Columbia Park, with a bonus air show. I did kind of want to hit the air show, but not if it required braving the masses there for the boat races. Also, I think there is/was an admission fee.
I did, however, go to the art and craft show at Howard Amon Park in Richland, which is a really freaking nice park. The art show was pretty awesome, too. I almost spent 45 bucks on a phenomenal photograph taken at Zion National Park with incredible red and orange striped and layered cliffs as a back drop, and a small waterfall and a few very pretty trees in the foreground. I resisted, though, and spent a more reasonable $17 on a new pair of earrings. I also found a coffee shop where they sell Big Train Chai! YAY! Unfortunately, it wasn't so much a "shop" as a "trailer at the art show", and I have no idea where they keep shop otherwise. Also, it was in Richland (the whole art show was), and I'm almost never over there, so alas, I am once again searching for a coffee shop around here who does decent chai lattes.
It was still a pretty nice afternoon, though. A bit warm as far as I'm concerned - I think we were up around 95 when I was at the art show - but not bad. Totally worth it anyway because I love going to art and craft fairs, and I got some exercise in, so bonus!
Today, though, its supposed to get up around 103, and the rest of the week my Weatherbug is predicting highs between 100 and 104, so I think it'll be a good week to hide inside in the air conditioning.
