Winter in Leavenworth
Dec 18, 2005 (5 photos)

... online. I've decided to buy most of my clothes while in India so I could blend in better. It's cold and snowy/icy in Leavenworth and I've been getting in as much cross-country skiing as I can before the trip. I'm looking forward to hot sun on my face! ...

The Little White Cloud That Didn't Cry
Aug 12, 2006 (18 photos)

There is NO parking place downtown. There are people people people dragging around, horse and buggy rides at 4 mph blocking every village street, we are hungry and we want to get out of the car. I give up. Let's just go to our motel and park and walk ...

A Roly Poly Heart
Aug 13, 2006 (30 photos)

Ice cream, let's get ice cream and sit down in the park. The music's starting now! The polka, the accordion, are we in Germany or not? Not, but still it's fun. And there's the hill. A perfect hill for rolling down. Go for it, roly poly girl!

Checking Out

Morning like afternoon, in Leavenworth, Washington. Too many people. The line at Waffles R Us was an hour at least. I persuaded my little girl to settle for McDonald's, in and out, we'll be eating, I promise. Geez whiz the cops were there, the line was ...

The river by the road is so pretty! We've made it over Steven's Pass (don't slow down) and are descending into town (one-lane, road construction). Why is the water green sometimes and white sometimes, my science-girl inquires? Green rocks white, the ...

I've Got Frozen Ants in My Pants
Jan 18, 2007 (5 photos)

It's so cold in Leavenworth that my hair turns to icicles just walking to my mail box. Cold, cold, cold and no new snow for almost a month makes for less than superior skiing conditions. So, I'm ready to fly the coop, hot to ...

Who Needs EBay?
Aug 13, 2006 (15 photos)

Don't go to Leavenworth unless you want to shop. I was set, with Shopper Girl by my side. Every store, every window display, evoked the same response. Oh, how cute! She's not yet five, but she's definitely got the shopping gene. Yes, we bought stuff. ...

... off an exit I stop and put up the step. Okay, now I'm shaking, I no longer feel quite so secure.  By the time we get to Leavenworth it is dark. We pull into the KOA and it looks like we've just come into a bad kept trailer park. The man leads us to our ...

Lunch at Muchen Haus

We are eating lunch at Muchen Haus. It is a sausage place. The sausages look really really good. Of course there are a lot of beers too. Definitely a nice place to eat.

Walking on a trail
May 25, 2008 (6 photos)

After getting a gingerbread and walking around the Front Street for a bit more, we left Leavenworth to look for a trail near by to walk around. We walked about a closed road and near a camp site. I don't know the exact place but it's some where near Icicle ...

Day 11: Eastward to Leavenworth
Jun 16, 2008 (7 photos)

... Dutch-influenced town of Lynden, and I liked Lynden better (more authentically influenced, it seems). Although that's not knocking Leavenworth - it's still charming, and has clearly embraced its mission fully. We had a German meal of things I can't spell ...

Outer Space is an Adventure Worth Surviving
Jul 23, 2008 (5 photos)

I woke up in a parking lot full of derelicts. The drawl was more intense, the movements were slower, the smell was worse. these weren't climbers. The field of folding chairs around a still smoldering pile of firewood, and more impressive pile of beer ...

A retreat with endless treats.
Sep 21, 2007

First of all - NO BUGS! One of the biggest complaints of all hikers: tons of flies and mosquitos tickling your leg and itchy bites of maddness. Yeah, there was none of that. Just a few sprinkling episodes which leveled the dust and cooled our backs. I'd ...

"Bär" Translation: Bear
Jul 7, 2009

Chris was up bright and early at 5:30, and I followed suit a half hour later.  Breakfast was brought over at 9:30--yogurt, smoothies, fruit, scrambled eggs and pico.  The funny thing was that they didn't serve any bread--very strange.  We ...
