In my never ending quest to entertain my parents, today we drove pretty far out of town to Chehalis, Washington to see the Garlic Fest & Craft Show.
The fact that we moved so far away from home is kind of fun because there are a lot of new agricultural products out here. Who doesn't like garlic?
Even the local vampires are on board.
They were sold out of garlic ice cream which was very sad, but they did have garlic fries and garlic ears, which were like a savory version of the elephant ear.
Tom even bought some garlic to take home and plant in his yard.
On our way back north we passed through Olympia so I figured we should give the capitol building a gander.
I learned a lot of fun Washington State trivia.
We found a fun little place to take a walk in Brewery Park at Tumwater Falls. First of all let's address the elephant in the room: Tumwater does sound like a child's explanation of diarrhea. No, I don't know why they named it that.
In addition to being a fun walk, the park is also the site of the now derelict Olympic Brewery. Every time I see an abandoned brewery I think how lucky St. Louis is to have such a vibrant and historic Anheuser-Busch.
We hit McMenamins Spar Cafe for dinner.
I can't get enough of the artwork in these places. It's all so quirky.
Like what the hell is this thing?
Back in Kirkland, Mom and Tom entered the Matrix via the Meta Quest 2 we recently acquired.
I finally finished Elden Ring on Xbox Series X. I checked my total play time on this thing two weeks ago and it said 7 days 5 hours. I didn't check it again. Killing god has a certain sense of accomplishment that comes with it, I must say.
