Trip up the Columbia

On Saturday we took a day trip up the Columbia River.  It was a beautiful drive.  We stopped in Wanatchee for a walk along the river and the Farmer's Market, where we picked up some varieties of pears  that we don't see at HyVee back home. :)  Then we headed up the mountain to Leavenworth--a cute little Bavarian villiage where we had lunch and a bakery treat and checked out a few little shops.  We found a great apple orchard on the way down the mountain--it was fun to do something just for Jack.  He's been such a great sport on our trips.  From there we drove up to Lake Chelan.  It was a pretty mountain lake, but didn't compare to our drive up the river.  Could have skipped the extra time driving, but oh well!

All the shops and restaurants had this cute style 
There were some fun little shops in Leavenworth,
