Rise and Shine is my way of sitting down and having a cup of coffee with you! We talk about the new deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help us save time, money or energy. Published Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! I hope you’re staying cool – this heatwave is intense here in the Northwest! We left early in the day yesterday and went to the Fort Walla Walla museum – what a fun place this was! I used our AAA card to get a discount on admission – it was $17 for admission for our whole family. We were treated as soon as we walked in the door because the Walla Walla Chamber was practicing in the lobby – beautiful music! I guess they practice around town (read: free performances!) to drum up excitement for their upcoming shows. How neat! The exhibits at Fort Walla Walla museum were so interesting – the kids really enjoyed the pioneer village and looking at the old houses and learning about the inhabitants.
The Walla Walla Fort Museum also has a fun playground – the kids loved that, too!
We took it easy the rest of the day – played a new Lewis and Clark card game (like Rummy) and had popsicles in the sun. 🙂 With temperatures nearly 100 degrees we didn’t get to do as much outside as we would have liked – but still had a fun day.
This morning our travels were highlighted on the Washington State Parks blog, Adventure Awaits! And you can read my most recent travel post (added last night) about the Grand Coulee Dam tour.
Today is a travel day – we’re headed to Clarkston, Washington (and then Hells Gate State Park in Idaho)! My grandma’s sister and husband live there and I’m looking forward to seeing them. NOT looking forward to 111 temps predicted for Sunday – yowza! How are you beating the heat? Have you been to Clarkston, Washington (or Hells Gate State Park in Idaho) and do you have tips for things to see or do?

Hi,
We have taken our RV to Lewiston and really enjoyed the bike trail. It is over 12 miles and a section runs right thru the park you are staying at. It is called the Lewiston Levee Parkway Bike Trail. Darn….it might be too hot for bike riding!
Melinda D says
I live in Lewiston, which is across the river from Clarkston. Hell’s Gate is a great park (there is quite a bit to do there). We just took the kids there yesterday to the archery range. I wouldn’t suggest going to the aquatic center in Clarkston right now as the adventure pool is currently being worked on. There are a couple of splash pads over in Lewiston though that are free (one is downtown and one is at Pioneer park). Chestnut Beach in Clarkston is also a good place to go swimming in the river. Sunset park in Lewiston has a nice frisbee golf range if you are interested and there is a skate park in Kiwanis Park in Lewiston (along the river). I hope you have fun here. =) If you are here on Monday the local movie theather has children’s matinees (www.lewistonmovies.com) twice a day- great for getting out of the heat.
Ruth says
There is a great outdoor water park in Clarkston that I highly recommend. I think it run through Asotin County. It has a lazy river, wave pool, spray park, slides, etc. I am sure it will be packed with this hot weather and bring your sandals because the concrete will be hot on the toes.
