We made our hour excursion to Anacortes and found that it was quaintly boring. It wasn't on the water, well the shops weren't, and the shops that were to be found weren't very interesting. The restaurants were slightly over priced and because we had Padon with us we couldn't go into the two pub-ish restaurants that peaked our interests because they didn't have family seating. After walking up and down the street 4 times and finally deciding on a place to have lunch we opted to go home. The place was a bust and we were disappointed.
Until Walter said in our pity us conversation on the way home "It's too bad we didn't go somewhere like Leavenworth..." We both looked at each other and instantly agreed, well why not?! Let's go tomorrow!
Sunday we packed Padon and Roadie in the car and made our way to Leavenworth, a smallish trip of just 2 hours and what a great idea!
Aside from being limited again to where we could go because we had the dog with us the weather was gorgeous and we had a really great time. It was practically a mirror image of Rotenberg, a small town we stayed in in Northern Germany on our honey moon, and it brought back such nice and homely feelings.
We ended up having lunch at a pub that had outside seating and mulled over their scarce selection of sausages but good selection of beer.
Padon picked out rocks from behind where we were sitting examining them with Walter. Each of the rocks had writing on them (notes from visiting people) and there were hundreds of rocks to choose from.
After lunch we walked all over Leavenworth, window shopping, wishing we had thought to go here in advance because we would have totally stayed the night. It was a lot of fun, Padon really liked the new sights, and Roadie was so well behaved.
