We're Busting Outta Here!

I've always thought it funny that one of the prettiest towns in Washington has the same name as a famous prison. Of course, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Leavenworth, WA, and were in no hurry to bust out.

But first, the real reason we went to Washington was for Mariah's 8th grade graduation.  She ended up not being able to participate in the ceremony because of illness, but we still enjoyed watching the ceremony and hanging out with the family for the rest of the weekend.

For the last day of our Washington weekend, we joined the Haverlys and Brownlees in Leavenworth.  It's a quaint Bavarian village filled with interesting shops and surrounded by snow-capped mountains.

Makes me want to go to Europe!
