St. John Monastery

A while back, we traveled up to see the family in Yakima. I forget the trip details, but it was fun - Simone loves her cousins.

On the way back we stopped at the St. John Monastery's roadside store. We've always wondered what it was like, but we've always driven by on a Sunday (for some reason we don't notice it while driving to Yakima). But, because it was Labor Day weekend, we came back on a Monday - and it was open.

We stopped in and picked up a pan of spanikopita and baklava. The spanikopita rocked, and the baklava was pretty good (though I'd prefer to make my own).

If you're in the neighborhood, check it out.
