Quiet, windswept, and worth the stop.

Never one to shy away from something new, John ended up with a bag of sparkling sour plum juice. Not a cup. Not a bottle. A bag with a straw.

Sweet, salty, a little tangy, and exactly the kind of thing you want to try with your first Grab order of a new location.

Sometimes the road rewrites the plan.

We couldn’t take I-90 from Pasco to Poulsbo due to snow in the mountains, so we had to find another way.

Not the route we expected—but definitely a stop worth making.
