A Picture Perfect Day

On Saturday, it was one of those days in the Pacific Northwest that make you realize that it is truly God’s Country. A day when the sky was a clear blue, the temperature was in the mid 60s and not a breeze to be felt. It was a perfect day for a drive up over Steven’s Pass on U.S. 2 and a nice lunch in Leavenworth for a good Bratwurst and Kraut.

The only problem with a day like that is that because they are few and far between, half the western part of the state had the same idea. We loaded up in the min-van and took off for a drive. It was beautiful and pretty with the fall colors in all their glory. Everything was fine until we arrived in Leavenworth, then there was a traffic jam and no parking to be had anywhere. We finally found a place in Dryden, WA for lunch and then headed home with a stop at The Alps candy store on the way back for salt water taffy and fudge, the perfect end to a Fantastic Week.
