I used to work at Cheval for GianCarlo and my wife and I spent the first night of our honeymoon in that room at Areus with the Icarus Light and Owl Lamp. My wife loved that owl lamp so much I found one in a local boutique called Opal Studio, which, as it turns out, is run by the sister of one of my coworkers.<BR/><BR/>It might also be of note to some of your readers that Walla Walla boasts the second largest wine industry in America. I actually work for a wine-centric web company in Walla Walla called AmericanWinery.com (we do more than just Walla Walla wines).<BR/><BR/>This town is GREAT! It does generally get really hot in the summer, but as of lately this summer has been really mild. It's gotten up to the 100s, but today (Aug. 21) it is currently 62°. Quite mild.<BR/><BR/>Great post. I should tell GianCarlo about it (he's only two buildings away!).Dallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15967722397694766264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549907091994594204.post-18214376833948586092008-08-20T13:04:00.000-07:002008-08-20T13:04:00.000-07:00This is kind of a funny post.

I used to drive down to Oregon every summer and Walla Walla was just someplace that you drove past to get to where we were going. It never would have occurred to us to stop. Now that I live further away and never travel down that way, I find out what a nifty place it is. I will have to make a point of doing that someday. <BR/><BR/>LOVE the chocolate shop!!! Love it. LOVE the shoes! The parasols, the orange chair, the shoes... did I mention that I LOVE the chocolate shoes?!? How is it possible that I have never before thought of chocolate shoes?!? Lovely. Yummy and lovely.

Excellent food and wine, a thriving art community plus lots for a family to do. In the interest of full disclosure, I work for the downtown development group and have been a one-woman cheering section for the charms of Walla Walla since I came to go to Whitman in 1987. As a starry-eyed fan, I can tell you that the tree in Willow is even more stunning in person, and artist Douglas Gisi is the most down-to-earth gentle talent you are likely to meet. Try it - you'll like it!Walla Walla Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11615245169884873297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549907091994594204.post-46665843345676770862008-08-16T11:37:00.000-07:002008-08-16T11:37:00.000-07:00That willow tree in the shop is INCREDIBLE!That willow tree in the shop is INCREDIBLE!becky from hatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311252356801679532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549907091994594204.post-75320739358915191292008-08-15T09:56:00.000-07:002008-08-15T09:56:00.000-07:00One note - Walla Walla is HOT in the summer.

They're sorta old-timey and rustic. We've mostly taken day trips, but I know people love Klaloch Lodge and Iron Springs.<BR/><BR/>We're off to the Oregon Coast in a couple of weeks (Otter Rock) so I'll report back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
