I have started working outside the home again. Part-time, yet it feels like full-time when it comes to having time for things like crafting and blogging. *le sigh*
Last week, I was blessed to have my in-laws come to stay with us for several days. Darin, Victoria and I decided to take them to Leavenworth, WA via the scenic Cascade Mountain Highway. Oh how I love a road trip!
Here we are the Diablo Lake lookout. Check out my hair. That was some serious awesomeness!
Darin, Victoria and I walked out onto Diablo Dam, while Grandpa and Grandma chose to enjoy the scenery from the solid ground. The causeways were open, so it made for some beautiful photos.
Part of that beauty were the rainbows created by the mist.
We also walked across a bridge over a very deep and beautiful gorge.
The photo cannot due justice to just how high the bridge was!
Of course, I paused here and there to enjoy some of the wildflowers. God's creation is just amazing!!
At the peak of the mountain pass, there was still snow along the roadside. I made Vicki stand in the snow for a picture. She was not too impressed with that!
Eventually we made our way to Leavenworth. For some reason I didn't get any pictures of the town this trip. However, I have a one I took from a previous trip.
There are so many neat shops in this little Bavarian town!
I could have spent another two days here.
Hopefully, this will not be the only road trip we do this summer. I love road tripping, and hope to have some more photos to share.
And here is a smile for the day. While at a petting zoo, just outside of Leavenworth, Victoria and I spotted this peacock trying so, so hard to impress a peahen. He strutted, fluttered and followed her around for a good 20 minutes. However, she never even glanced his way. Oh, I am sure she saw him, I mean, how could you not?!?! But, she didn't acknowledge him. Sounds like any bar in any town, America. HAHA!
So if you have having a bad day or week, just think of this poor guy.
Have a blessed day!
These pictures are awesome, I love the one with the rainbow caused by the mists, I also loved the waterfalls one. I am not sure I could handle walking on the bridge that you could see through... scary for a person who is afraid of heights. I am working on it though:)

DeleteThank you Launna. I am also scared of heights. The only looking down was through the lens of the camera!
