Best Burger Drive-Ins in North Central WA

Hey guys I am back with a few recommendations if you are ever in Eastern Washington / North Central Washington. If you are in the market for a great burger or milkshake or corndog or chicken strip basket these places are for you! These are places from my childhood and I made sure to visit and eat at each one while I was home and I thought I would put them here just in case anyway was searching for some good food and retro decor. 

1. Lakeview Drive-In: Chelan WA
I ate at this one three times while I was home. It is only 20 minutes from my hometown so I ate here a lot when I was grow up and in the summers. They are only open from May to around September (maybe October.) They also recently downsized their menu but they still have all the good stuff. My favorite is the corn dog. Their burgers and chicken strips are also really good but my favorite park is the crinkle fries and fry sauce! They also have great ice cream and milkshakes. You can walk up, drive up, or call in your order ahead of time. There is only outdoor seating. Go here and order the french fries you won't be disappointed!

2. EZ's : Wenatchee WA
We stopped here when we were in Wenatchee after one of my brothers baseball games. I also remember eating here as a child mostly their milkshakes. I had mini corndogs (can you tell I miss corndogs, they don't have them in Italy!! haha) and fries. Once again great fry sauce. My mom had a burger she said was amazing and my brother had a bacon burger with a chocolate milkshake. I had a vanilla milkshake. Just doesn't seem like you should be able to visit a drive-in with out ordering a milkshake. This one is on more of the expensive side compared to the other two drive-ins I am recommending but still worth it and really fun decor!

3. Rusty's Drive-In : Cashmere WA
We ate here on our way from the airport to home when my mom picked me up. Their Rusty Burger is what they are famous for and it is delicious. We also got fries and onion rings! There fry sauce is a little odd so I wouldn't recommend that but everything else was spot on. 

Now these are not all of the great burger joints in Eastern Washington just the ones that I visited while I was back home. Also my bad for not taking any photos of the food besides my ice cream, you'll just have to take my word for it I guess.

Baseball

While I was back in Washington State I got to watch my little brothers play lots of baseball. I am pretty sure every single weekend I was home we were watching baseball haha. Their team did so good that they actually made it to the state championship. Unfortunately, they lost but still they got 2nd in all of state which is amazing. As you know I love taking photos so taking photos of the baseball games was a given. I mostly focused my attention on my little bros I didn't really care to capture anyone else haha. So here are some of the best photos from about six baseball games I watched over three weeks:

Taylor Swift Concert!

I got to see Taylor Swift on Tuesday, May 22, in Seattle and it was amazing. I have liked Taylor Swift since her debut album like 12 years ago. I lover her when she was country and lover her now that she crossed over to pop. This was the first time I saw her in concert and she is wonderful. The show was a full on production and so much detail went into everything. Even the confetti at the end was printed with her name in newspaper print. There was fireworks that were synchronized with the songs and we all got light up bracelets that changed colors and made different patterns the whole stadium was lit up and you could see everyone moving and swaying along with Taylor. I was truly amazing.

Charli XCX opened for Taylor and Charli was also amazing. Got the crowd totally hyped up and played lots of fun songs like Iggy's Fancy and her own bop right now Boom Clap. Camilla Cabello was suppose to preform too as an opening act but she ended up sick. I honestly just think she was hangover from the BBA and didn't feel well enough to come to Seattle which is really shitty. I mean it was ONLY 4 shows into a world stadium tour with Taylor Swift you probably need to have more stamina if you can't even last 4 shows. Back to Taylor though....

Before entering Centurtylink we walked around outside and got some food and also get to hold snakes since Taylor was called a snake and then took on the snake persona everything is snakes and there was live snakes for us to hold! Taylor came out to Ready For It... and she did like 5 outfit changed but had some outfits layered. At every show she plays a different old song acoustically and at our show she played Holy Ground which was awesome because it is my little brothers favorite. Oh did I mention that I went with my little bro and my mom. Almost all the concerts I have been to have been with my mom and we agreed this is definitely in the top 3 shows we have been too.

Another detail that I loved was the videos that either played with the songs on the big screen or were shown when she was doing outfit changes. The videos would be things like explaining why she disappeared from the spotlight or just cool snake graphics and desert roads.  Lots of fun stuff.

Also, if your wondering about my shirt. I bought a plain white camisole and did the Taylor Swift graphic in photoshop. I Googled "Taylor Swift png" to find photos that were photoshop compatible and already had the background deleted so I could overlap them easy. It was a little tedious but fun and I loved how it turned out. Once my little brother saw my shirt he wanted something to so I did a simple I heart T.S. for him with Taylor's face.

Wild Lupin

Wild lupin is one of my favorite things about spring in Washington state! It is all over Okanogan country which is where my hometown is in Washington. And it is so beautiful. Turns out you don't need to travel to Iceland so see beautiful fields of wild lupin. Who knew? haha I got stung by a bee this day on my left ring figure luckily I got my wedding ring off my figure right away cause my figure swelled up to two times it's size (no exaggeration)  and my hand swelled and got itchy and red as well. It is finally going down and almost back to normal now. I actually took my dad's cat into the vet for a checkup and asked the vet to look at my hand as well haha. The vet didn't even hesitate. Perks of growing up in a small town. 

I hope everyone is having a great start to there week! I think it is going to be a good one.
