Winter Getaways

I am hoping the next post will have some snowy pictures!

A quick pit stop for milkshakes and fries...

Stevens Pass, we had to stop to play in the snow.

The Chiwawa Loop Rd. picture perfect in every season.

Winter sunshine, I'm ready for these fields to be covered in snow!

Fall Weekend Getaway

A few shots from my ladies weekend at Poofy's. A great group of friends, good conversations, amazing food, a walk that turned into quite the hike and time to just hang out at Poofy's Paradise. Thanks ladies for a perfect weekend! 

Always match your car to your surroundings.

The Wenatchee River from the patio of Yodelin Broth. I am always in search of a good patio and this one is definitely the top of the list. We'll be back to sample the food soon.

 It was 70 beautiful degrees down on the river in Plain.

One more amazing meal before we head home.

A quick stop at the foot bridge in Plain. 

A Walk in Plain Wa.

Sweet pedestrian crossing over the Wenatchee River.

First stop, the Plain Church.

Beautiful barns...

Peek-a-boo views...

...and close to home in Shugart flats.

Weekends in the Cascades

They view from the top of Beaver Hill doesn't disappoint. Its a quick steep 1/2 hour climb and you're done. Perfect pit stop on the way to Leavenworth from Plain.

...our Labour day views

 We are loving the finished patio!

Testing the bench...

Family Time at Lake Wenatchee

Summer is a busy season for us at Poofy's Paradise. The comment book is full of folks enjoying a weekend of family time. I did book out a nice 5 day stretch for our family, cousin time on the river and the lake!

We picked a very breezy day, beautiful for pictures and flying a kite but not so much for a dip. We decided on happy hour at Wildflours instead!

The following day the temperatures were nice and hot and the lake was perfect! The kids loved testing out their new SUP's.

 Between us we had 8 inner tubes...so much fun! Pop in at Mosquito flats on Beaver Valley rd., and pop out just after the bridge. There is now a parking lot and a set of stairs to the river.

...and if you never leave the house, its still a perfect day...

Floating down the river

Tis the season to float down the river....

Mosquito Flats on the Beaver Valley road is the favorite local drop in point.

 Jump out at the bridge, there is a new set of stairs...



...and a parking lot!

Have a safe float down the Wenatchee!

Local Restaurants

There's a new restaurant in town and I am looking forward to doing some research.  Wildflour is located at Kahler Glen golf course, Lake Wenatchee, just 10 minutes from Poofy's!

I highly recommend happy hour.

waiting patiently...

we shared the clams...

I do not share the meatballs...

...don't forget to stop and smell the wildflowers on the way.
