Leavenworth

October 15 was the Leavenworth half marathon. My sister decided she didn't have time to train (full-time job and a newborn) so I took her slot and enjoyed a beautiful run. Well, jog. I love Leavenworth this time of year and it was fun to get away with Kelley & family. Plus it was definitely my strongest run, though I have no idea what my time was. Patrick. I think you're amazing. And I love this memory with you. T-shirt anaconda squeeze! After the race, Kelley and the girls met us in Leavenworth (they stayed to swim at the hotel pool in Wenatchee) and we enjoyed walking through the Bavarian town. We did not do the hat shop (there was a 10min line) but we enjoyed the toy shop, cured meats & cheese on a baguette from Cure, divine sampling at A Matter of Taste, a street clown, name shop and some fudge. Oh yes. I ate back every calorie I burned.The owners were so delighted with the girls I couldn't resist doing their names. Fun!On the way home we stopped for a box of Yakima tomatoes (why does produce from eastern Washington bring me such joy?) and later that week I canned 19 pints of SALSA!

This reminds me of doing much the same with you three years ago. Good grief, has it really been that long? And I think we got apples instead of tomatoes on our way home, but yeah...!
