Stanwood

This afternoon we made the short drive up to Stanwood, about ten miles or so north. The reason for the trip was for Debbie to pick up a "Goody Bag" she had won at the quilt store we visited a while back. While we were there we stopped at the QFC grocery store. I went with Debbie to help.

What? You're done all ready?

I never knew grocery stores had comfortable chairs, fireplace and newspapers. I need to help Debbie more often.

On the way back Debbie noticed a Christian Camp which had put up an unbelievable array of Christmas lights on most of the trees and a mural painted in lights. I took a panoramic picture of it, but it doesn't give it justice.

Rain was forcast for today and we did have a couple of sprinkles this morning but it's just been overcast for the day.

Back to Port Susan

We made another pass through town this morning after breakfast and checking out of Howard Johnson's. Yesterday downtown was a zoo. No parking closer the two or three blocks. Today you could park anywhere.

On the way home we went by Lake Wenatchee. The lake has a ring of cabins around it. Cabins of the half million to million type. Very large and a majority very new.

Debbie in Tres Hermanos

We arrived back in Marysville around 2pm and ate lunch at a Mexican restaurant. Ty welcome us back with open paws. He did a good job of watching the motorhome. No damage.

Leavenworth

We are in Leavenworth Washington and decided to spend the night at a Howard Johnson in town. It was about a two hour drive from Port Susan in sunny weather. The temperature was in the high 30s to low 40s. We went over Stevens pass and saw about six inches of snow at the edge of the roadway.

We explored downtown and there are certainly a lot of shops here. In fact there are so many we are going to visit the rest of them tomorrow.

One of Several Blocks Downtown

We arrived just after noon and found a Bavarian restaurant right away and both had some kind of brauten.

I doesn't get any better than this. Third floor room with a view, a fire in the fire place, football on the TV. Behind me is a dinning table, desk, and six foot counter. This is my first attempt at a panoramic picture and was made from four separate exposures.

Ty stayed home to take care of the our motorhome.
