We drove down to Walla Walla. Jeremy wanted to visit a specialty hardwood store to buy some wood for his woodworking. We also wanted to take Elizabeth to the Whitman Mission. 4th graders study Washington State history. The big 4th grade field trip was going to Fort Walla Walla and the Whitman Mission. However, those did not happen this year due to covid. We figured we could at least take her to the Whitman Mission since Fort Walla Walla was closed.
We walked to the top of a hill to check out the monument for the Whitmans.
Overlooking the area where the mission was.
An original part of the Oregon Trail.
Checking out where the Whitman mission used to be.
The Blacksmith shop area.
The pond that powered the Wheat grist.
The orchard (not the original trees).
After that, we drove home. That took less than an hour. It was a good daytrip!
