Seattle Trip- The cliff notes version

We took our first real vacation since Maddie was born last week. It was a little bit of everything we could think of. Seeing family, adventure, shopping, eating local food, relaxing, and leaving the Wheaton area.

Maddie went through the airport for the first time.
She did pretty well on the flights. It was a little difficult to get her to sleep as she never wanted to miss anything that could be new.

After we arrived in Seattle we headed for Leavenworth, WA. This was one of the mountain sides that we saw on the way over.

Once we arrived in Leavenworth,we did a good deal of hiking. On one of the days it was fairly windy so I put Maddie inside my coat to try to keep her a little warmer.

This is the back of the house that we stayed at. It was a wonderful location!

Maddie made herself comfortable in one of the backyard chairs.

The town of Leavenworth is a little Bavarian theamed town. I have never been to Germany so I am not sure if this is what it looks like, but it is what I would imagine it to look like.

One of the days I took off alone for several hours to do a 14 mile hike. This is a self portrait that I had to use a few rocks to set the camera up on to take the picture.

This was the view to the right of the house. It was nice to see so much open space.

After our time in Leavenworth, we went and spent a couple of days in Seattle. It was a great trip with lots of great memories.
