French Pastries and Friends

 

How can you not love a town called Walla Walla? It makes me really happy happy. I went there to hug my Ali Ali. Ali and I are both photographers and we connected online long before we met the first time around the country. We stayed with Ali and her family in June 2008 and of course, had to go back this time on our way to Eugene.

We had a blast sharing meals, talking about life, kids, and photography. Ali is an amazing photographer...you can see her work here. She continually inspires me with her creative eye. She also took me to a sweet little patisserie called Colville St. Patisserie. It was there that I tasted a french pastry for the first time. An amazing little caramel thing with sea salt on top. Paired with my decaf soy caramel latte and I was in heaven.

Ali has two kiddos...and Bella was thrilled to have kids to play with who were close to her age! We will definitely be back.
