what to do when your week is free

Follow your husband on a work trip. First stop: La Grande, OR.

What I like best about small, old towns:

Time seems to slow down.

Faded mural ads on the side of brick buildings.

Antique shops.

 

and this one by far had the classiest, still in operation, gas station I have ever seen. Even the employees were dressed in black slacks and white, collared shirts. It felt like I had stepped into the '50s.
