Tony's on vacation, but since it's mostly a stay-cation, it's a bizarre mixture of sight-seeing, doctor appoinments, and school.
Today consisted of violin practice, math, dance, and doctor appoinments. Boring. ...and we're desperately trying to finish Anne of Green Gables (still!? -I know. We lost it for a while.), since the movie just arrived from Netflix.
However, yesterday was full of fun and quite vacationy! We grabbed some crepes before catching our ferry, made our way to the Reptile Museum in Monroe, stopped at a fish hatchery (to peek at the salmon fry), and drove through the mountains to Leavenworth, Washington's own alpine village.
We made the children try all manner of German foods - much to their dismay. I think Anthony was the only big fan of German cuisine (child-wise), but everyone loved the gelato we got down the street. Cinnamon, cream, tropical lemonade, guava, cookies and cream, mixed berry, and mint. ...and those were just the flavors that people in my family ordered!
My favorite part: walking through the sunshine in a quaint town, overflowing with flowers.
Jonny's favorite part: mountain goats.

I like Leavenworth even better in the snow! (Though the drive was a little scary.)
ReplyDeleteno way! Did you see mountain goats??? btw it sounds like that was an "explorer day" to me... =)
ReplyDeleteI like Leavenworth. The last time I was there though I was about 8 months pregnant so I didn't appreciate it as much as I could have!
