LEAVENWORTH, WA. TRIP AUG 25-28, 2025---PART ONE

 This was a short trip to explore an area we have never been to before.  I had seen photos and decided I wanted to explore this area. Randy was willing, so off we went! We reserved our room at Hampton Inn (Hilton chain) and it was very nice! We were surprised at the landscape on our way to Leavenworth!

There are not many trees or lush landscape in this area of Washington.
We saw many windmill farms!  You can see them on the hillsides.
We were also driving through tribal land.
We drove I-84 headed towards The Dalles and went up from there.
Our first day we set out to walk part of the town and quaint little shops.
It turned out to be so hot and humid! I have difficulty handling that kind of weather.
So after a few hours we returned to our room and rested. I actually dozed off!
On the second day we explored more, enjoying the shops and murals and buildings.
Here are photos from the area of Leavenworth,
We ate at Andreas Keller Restaurant sitting outside.
They do have wonderful murals and paintings throughout the area. 
You feel like you are in a Bavarian Village.  
Next post I will show you photos taken at Cashmere, Washington next door to Leavenworth,
We visited their museum and where Aplets &Coplets are made.! Enjoy Leavenworth!

OUR TRIP TO OREGON GARDENS AUGUST 9 2025

 Since it was a nice day and we craved nature, we decided to go see the Art in the Garden displayed at Silverton's Oregon Gardens.  I always enjoy strolling through this place. Plenty of spots to sit and enjoy the area.  Here are a few (well, I will try!) of the photographs taken while there.

Hope you enjoy them and leave a comment below!! Please.

You can see the art scattered throught the photos and it was all for sale!
I had to pose in the beautiful surroundings!
And Randy did a bit of posing for me!
Eek! A water snake!
Serpent!
I hope you enjoyed the visual stroll through here and maybe decide to go see it in person!
