Friday, November 20 – Sunday, November 22nd, 2009
Friday – It is our anniversary this weekend…11 years! My mom came over to watch the boys for the weekend. Steve and I headed out around 6pm and stopped at The Alpen Drive Inn for dinner on the road. We got to the cabin and it was cold and so quiet without the boys there! Steve got the fire going and we relaxed and enjoyed the peace and quiet!
Saturday – We slept in and had a relaxing morning. I worked on my blog, relaxed and drank my coffee. I love mornings like that! We left around 1pm and headed in to Leavenworth. We stopped at Safeway (I needed to get a card for Steve!) and then decided to have a light lunch since we had dinner reservations at 6:30pm. We went to Ducks and Drakes which was a cool little pub. We had a huge plate of nachos, beer, and coffee and baileys. It was so nice to talk, drink, and enjoy each other’s company! We stayed there for a few hours and then did a little shopping. We found a hilarious book that we purchased for Steve’s dad called “Roadway flattened fauna” or something like that. It was all about road kill, their dimensions when they are squished, and other weird info on road kill. It was perfect for his Dad who joked that we would be having possum turkey this year for Thanksgiving! We then went to a wine tasting at “Leavenworth Tasting Room” where we tried wine from Pasek Cellars and Willow Crest. They had a few white wines that I liked and we bought one. The red wines didn’t taste good to me at all which was weird. The last thing we tried was a cranberry wine which tasted really good and unique. We decided to buy a few bottles for Thanksgiving and Christmas. After the winery we sought out another pub..the ones the locals like which was Uncle Uli’s Pub. They had a cheese fondue that I want to go back and try. We kept it to the drinks so we wouldn’t be full for our dinner. We had dinner at Katz and it was really nice. They had a big fireplace inside with wood beams and wooden tables. We both had the prime rib which was very good. We had a great night and a great anniversary!
Sunday – We had another relaxing morning, put up the Christmas lights, and headed out early. The people from the house that we had contacted in our neighborhood called us and wanted to show us the inside at 4pm. We loved the inside. It was very charming and would be a great house for us. They aren’t sure if they want to sell. They bought a total project house in Fall City and they want to see what kind of progress they can make on that before they sell their house. So we left it as we are interested but we will wait and see how things play out.
