Guten Tag Leavenworth, Washington!

well, i will get to the title in a minute, but first i am sad to report the yuck bug claimed 2 more victims before his wrath was over. on friday evening, grady was the first to fall. but not far behind was good ole mom. daddy had to be the nurse maid for the 2 sickies. by saturday morning we were on the mend but decided to forego the trip to canada. instead we opted to stay home and relax and recoup. after some much needed rest and easy eating on saturday, we were feeling like we had a bad case of cabin fever. sunday afternoon we decided to head east. we visited the bavarian village of leavenworth. it was a beautiful 2 hour drive through the cascades. we walked around some of the little shops and stopped off for lunch at cafe christa. shawn was the only one feeling adventurous, he had jager schnitzel. basically it was breaded pork cutlets with gravy. we checked out a cheese factory and candy factory; some savory with our sweet!! we decided we would have to come back in the spring or summer. it definitely looked like it would be a hotspot then! the town was pretty cool. all of the buildings and signs had a german/euro feel to them. even the mcdonald's! the snow through the cascades was still pretty amazing, although nothing like when we went skiing a few weeks ago! for those of you who are wondering guten tag is german for hello!!

Auf Wiedersehen (good bye) aren't we feeling german today?!
