Drive to Leavenworth

Last Saturday, we took a drive out to Leavenworth. (More pictures to follow) The drive was beautiful, but LONG! We were stuck in horrible holiday traffic and went about 20 miles in an hour and 15 minutes! It was only supposed to take about 2 hours to get there total! Finally, we made it through the small towns and saw a huge group of bike riders stopped for a break at a tiny cafe. It must have been them, because it was clear sailing after that! A friend had told us about a stop called Deception Falls. The kids were grateful to get out of the car and it was quite a cool little place!

Having to climb on the bridge making mommy very nervous! :)

I got this tiny video. My camera's batteries died.


Back in the car, we drove over Stevens Pass and saw the ski slopes. The little ones couldn't believe we were so close to snow. In fact, Ian informed us that the snow to the sides of the road couldn't be cold. He said it was just 'dry snow'.
It was slow going, but we did enjoy really looking at the beautiful details of the countryside as we drove along. A blessing in disguise!
