south

We headed south, across the line into the US for a little grocery shopping in Oroville, Washington.  It's about thirty minutes from my parents house and we were lucky not to have much of a line-up at the border.
  
It was exactly as the sign here says: Oroville; quick stop.


With a population of 1,678 (according to Wikipedia) there isn't a lot of shopping.  There is basically one store - Prince's Foods - and here's what we brought back...  


Zoi greek yogurt in honey and vanilla - yum;  Tillamook pepper jack cheese - my favourtie;  Frosted animal cookies - a big hit!;  Amish Country hand rolled butter - haven't tried this yet but since moving home from Europe I've been on a butter quest and found there is no variety of butter to be found here in Canada;  and Bud Lime-a-rita - hard to find here.

A success.  And a nice little road trip with my dad.
