PART 17: 2011 Western American Road Trip, Eating, drinking, farewell dinner

January 19, 2012 jesda No comments

After two weeks I decided it was time to head home. I didn’t have any obligations, but I was so tired of sitting around in the cold and waiting for time to pass. As much as I love and adore my family and friends, being in that town is sometimes like being in prison.

We met up at Thai On First for dinner. This is, WITHOUT QUESTION, the best Thai restaurant I’ve ever been to, and that’s taking into consideration three visits to Thailand.

I have no problem calling this one of the best Thai restaurants I’ve ever been to, even considering the places I’ve eaten in Thailand. Best pad Thai… EVER. They aren’t open very late so be sure to call first.

Thai On First
411 West 1st Avenue, Spokane, WA 99201-3706
(509) 455-4288 ‎

Went to Bo’s house to hang out. This little puppy, Simba, passed away from a virus recently. ☹

I always look forward to leaving Spokane but I hate saying goodbye to family and friends. This snow that started falling the night before we left is a trap.
