Post Shasta Chris and I decided to take a mini vacation to Leavenworth which is a few hours from Lynnwood. We rented a cabin for a few days of R&R. On the way out of town Wednesday we decided to see the new spiderman movie. We really enjoyed it! Of course we love most movies! Really looking forward to the new Batman movie. We arrived early evening and headed into the Bavarian town for dinner. Leavenworth is a beautiful, fun, and peaceful town. We look forward to going back. Thursday we went for a bike ride, follwed by coldstone, the nutcracker museum, the cheese shop, the fish hatchery, and touring of downtown. We returned to the cabin early to cook dinner, watch a movie, and relax. Friday we woke up early and went to the biggest antique shop in the Northwest called Apple Annies! We found a few old coffee tins to add to Chris' collection and some cute old aprons to add to mine. After that we ate lunch at a cute 50's diner called studabakers. We went for a hiked close to 4 miles that afternoon, drove to the canyon, had a pizza and starwars dinner date, and headed back for Lynnwood. We plan to head back soon for some white water rafting! Chris' favorite part of the trip was the hike and I enjoyed the antique shopping! Happy Birthday today to my wonderful Cousin Conner! Chris and I are very much looking forward to a visit from my mom, dad, and Memi this Thursday! Rangers and Mariners here we come!! Thank you all for keeping up with us and praying for us in our most recent adventures!
