Day One in Eastern Washington

Fresh from a good night's sleep at our new resting place in Wenatchee, Vince & I were ready to hit the road again (or at least after breakfast). We decided to head down to Wenatchee's new market building- The Pybus Public Market. That turned out to be a fantastic idea! The market was great; lots of local produce, locally-sourced food, good places to eat, and some well-done coffee. Ahh.

Some of the cafes- it was hard to decide where to go!

We finally picked the Pybus Bistro, which was a good call. I had a 

perfectly-executed omelet and probably the best croissant I've ever had (not 

to mention we had some yummy mimosas to round out the meal)

Full and caffeinated, Vince and I set out for Lake Chelan, a beautiful lake about 45 minutes from Wenatchee. I am glad I had such a good tour guide; gotta hand it to Vince for being a driving champ!

We admired the view of the lake and strolled the city's cute downtown area for an hour or so before heading back to Wenatchee to pick up Vince's mom before heading to Leavenworth- a storybook of a town in the mountains with Bavarian roots.

It was neat to see how they made their cider! On to Leavenworth...

Some of the many cute little shops

OMG- an AMAZING chocolate shop where the confections are locally made

Great local charcuterie

The weather was so perfect- we had to go check out Waterfront Park

Wow

And wow again- breathtaking

Back in town...

Dinner time at Visconti's Italian restaurant (yeah I know, Italian in
a Bavarian town, but it was really good)! Great end to a
picture-perfect day :)
