Leavenworth Oktoberfest

So after a few short days home from our Disneyland vacation, we drove up to Seattle to pick up Catherine's sister, Christina, and drove out to Leavenworth, WA for their Oktoberfest festivities. I'm looking forward to a bit of relaxation after a bit more than two weeks of go-go-go!

Someone turned on the rain here, and I'm guessing they won't turn it off for several months. But we didn't let that stop up. The trip to Leavenworth was rainy, and we didn't get to see much fall color. The town of Leavenworth reminded us of many of the smaller towns in Bavaria, Germany. Outside of a candy shop there was this giant stuffed bear that the kids just had to have their photos taken with.



And here is everyone enjoying a slight lull in the human crush.



The rain kept some folks away, but not everyone. This shot below is of the main street, showing the shops all painted up in the Bavarian style.



We took a different way home than we did there, to make sure we saw some nice color. We weren't disappointed!


This is the Wenatchee River from some random pull-out along the way. Cheers,

Marc
