Washington -- Leavenworth


While home, mom, dad, Carlos, Remlington, and I took a day trip out to the little "Bavarian" town called Leavenworth located east of Redmond in Chelan county. It was pretty funny for Carlos and me to see this town with all the little touches of Bavaria (half-timbered houses, intricately-carved wood balconies) after seeing authentic Bavarian towns recently in Germany!
The drive took a couple hours each way, but was worth it for a little adventure in this fun little tourist town. We brought a picnic lunch to eat in the park and then we wandered around, ate some ice cream, looked at shops, and even bought some gourmet cheese. It was a fun day, but the drive was a little long -- at least we got to see some beautiful mountains and forest that we otherwise wouldn't be able to visit at all in the winter!
