We were able to tour the farm, buy fresh farm eggs only $4 a dozen so cheap, and leave with pure lavender made on farm items. I highly recommend coming out here. Not to mention there are also fresh apples that they sell and apple orchards next door. My toddler's favorite part about this farm was the cat and $1.50 popsicles. We will be back during harvest season.

I called all over the Tri-Cities looking for an event space for a Celebration of Life. I needed…read morespace for around 200 people that would allow us to have food, alcohol, and a projector and screen. Two of the places I called never returned my request for a quote, one place only had time to book us at 9 pm on a Wednesday for one hour, and one place was much smaller than the Grange for about twice the price. The Grange met all of our requirements for our event. Tara was amazing to work with: super helpful, answered all questions quickly and professionally and made the planning for our event as stress-free as possible. I would definitely book with Tara and the Grange again if I was ever in need of a large space for an event.

We had fun on all the games, and the cotton candy machine was a fun treat after a disappointing lunch. I hate to say it because we had fun today. Personal sized pizzas ($7 - not a bad price) were burnt tasting on the bottom and honestly seemed like they came out of a freezer. Chips and queso also aren't worth the $8 unless you're good with weirdly lumpy sweet hot cheese with hot rotel and bland chips. Sorry, but I'm just being honest. I always want to give places the benefit of the doubt because maybe I just had the wrong thing today and they have other killer options on the menu that I won't get to try. Overall it was affordable, fun, and we came home with nice prizes.

Simple bunk rooms to sleep in , a nice lodge with pianos, foosball, dining hall, fireplace, games, and lots of outside options near a beautiful river (paddle boards, etc. though cold water), fishing, lots of farm animals like sheep, horses, etc. Tip: you bring your own bedding and towels like most KOA style cabins. We brought along snacks/drinks just in case but didn't need much. No AC in bunkrooms and cabins so prepare to use window fan provided or something else. It does get cooler at night when we were there in June.

* Summer Flashback * When I think of state parks and forests…read morein Washington, I always assume they'll consist of lush green foliage. However, Eastern Washington takes on a totally different landscape! The Gingko forest was dry like a desert and I immediately felt like I was transported to a different state. The park is split into two main areas which both require the Discover Pass or $10 for admission. The first area is home to the gift shop, interpretive center and stumps of petrified wood outside on display. This was my first time seeing any remains of petrified wood which are actually considered stone. The wood was smoothed over and some of the surfaces had developed shiny deposits! There are some plaques to read around the exhibit which describe the history of the land and provide more information on the petrified artifacts. It's an amazing realization that we were standing in an area that was once overtaken by lava flows. We could actually see lava remains on the grounds as well! From behind the interpretive center, you can get an expansive view of the Columbia River and Vantage Bridge. Inside, you'll find various types of petrified wood clearly labeled in glass displays which are definitely worth taking a moment to browse. A friendly park guide was also happy to answer any questions. About two miles up the road is a trail which apparently leads to petrified logs. Unfortunately, due to high fire risk (dry summer weather), this area was closed. Somewhere, you can see petroglyphs as well which we also missed this time around. While driving to and from this area, we spotted a herd of antelope! They were in the middle of the road and we caught a glimpse of them as they crossed right in front of us. What a sight! Overall, this is a park that everyone can enjoy, even those who cannot walk a far distance. The petrified wood and interpretive center at the first location is within a very short distance of the parking lot. While not exactly what I expected of a state park, it was still a fascinating visit. I couldn't help but marvel at all of the artifacts that originated from thousands of years ago. Stop by and touch a piece of history!
