After breakfast at<br />
Olympic Club, we<br />
began a shopping<br />
quest. Downtown<br />
streets are lined<br />
with antique stores<br />
and specialty shops.<br />
and Loose Ends Fiber<br />
Arts.<br />
During a delightful<br />
afternoon visit<br />
to King Agriculture<br />
Museum, we saw<br />
seventy unique and<br />
vintage tractors—all<br />
of which still run—<br />
along with fascinating<br />
displays of toys,<br />
farm tools, household<br />
gadgets, train<br />
sets and more.<br />
For dinner, we<br />
chose O’Blarney’s Irish Pub, ordering<br />
locally made brews along with satisfying<br />
chicken pot pie and shepherd’s pie. Seeking<br />
the full Centralia experience, we spent<br />
our second night in a cozy two-room<br />
suite amid the 1920s elegance of Centralia<br />
Square Grand Hotel. This tastefully<br />
renovated former Elks Club also contains<br />
a magnificent ballroom, an antique store,<br />
Berryfields Café and the Branch Bar.<br />
In the morning, we browsed more<br />
shops, then lunched<br />
on soup and sandwiches<br />
at Dawn’s Delectables,<br />
this time<br />
resisting the tempting<br />
desserts. We<br />
burned some calories<br />
hiking at Seminary<br />
Hill Natural<br />
Area, close to downtown.<br />
The densely<br />
wooded hilltop provides<br />
2 miles of interconnecting<br />
trails,<br />
perfect for stretching<br />
your legs.<br />
We rewarded ourselves at Santa Lucia<br />
Coffee Co., savoring robust drip coffee<br />
and coconut macaroons. Sadly, it was<br />
time to board the train home. Still, we’d<br />
enjoyed our carefree, car-free getaway. I<br />
would gladly do it again.<br />
