Ah, but your humble blogger has the order of the day's events inverted.
First we dined at Be
cky's All-Organic Cafe, munching on carrots (next photo), cabbage wedges, and apple slices. Slurping bean and bacon soup while eating home-ground (no spelling error there, not grown, but ground!) whole wheat, orange & pecan scones.

On the way to the museum, we stopped to introduce Judith (a Kennewick-ian) to the Columbia Market, an excellent place for all things "Oriental." Location: just off 20th and Court Streets.

Factoids learned (for those curious souls among you):
"The Green Bridge" torn down in 1989? Was referred to as the Old Bridge" until painted green. Replaced ( same crossing river location, just about) by the "Cable Bridge."
Photo of commander at the guard shack of "H&R Point" ??? We had to ask! WWII Army depot built south end of Pasco (referred to as Big Pasco area on Harris family farm land) for processing handling materials for the Lend-Lease program to the Soviet Union. "Holding and Reconsignment" of logistical supplies.
