Leavenworth WA

We went to visit the town of Leavenworth WA. This has a Bavarian tourist town in the center of the town itself. The drive up there was beautiful and took us about 2 hours or so to get there.

This was a field of what looked like small sunflowers. They were not very tall, but from a distance, it was wall to wall yellow. Very pretty.

We saw this glimpse of water and couldn’t wait to see how big the body of water was. This was just a big lake A really neat outcropping of rock. Found another body of water with another dam on it. We are in the “high dessert” and they use a lot of irrigation because a lot of the area is used for farmland. Do you notice anything about this picture? Like the SNOW on the top of the mountain! This is the first week in August and there is still snow on the mountains. Glad I wasn’t up there! Saw this trolley in Winatchee. In between the trees are some people on a white water raft trip. It’s blurry because we were going 60mph at the time. Now we are in Leavenworth. There were flowers everywhere! It was so pretty. The gazebo in town. They have a lot of performers at this gazebo. Lots of free music. It was mostly cloudy when we were there and it did not get above 80 degrees. A very nice day. We walked down by the river and saw a lot of people out tubing. They saw me take their picture and told me it would cost $5.00. Rick told them that it was $10.00 to take it. This next picture is for LaVon. A dead tree trunk. LOL! She likes dead tree pictures. So LaVon, you will really like this next one. We passed this on the way home, a whole row of dead trees! We walked and walked and seemed to walk forever. They have all kinds of little shops to go into. Rick almost bought a beautiful wall clock that played 18 melodies. But he rationalized that we have no wall space to hang it. We went to a little outdoor pub for lunch. I had the pulled pork and Rick had the meatball sandwich. Both were delicious! This lady and her little girl were getting the royal tour of the city. It was now time to head home. We were both very tired. Had a great time with the love of my life!
