I never wanted it to end.

I'm back from my 2nd Anniversary surprise getaway and boy did I have a good time!  The weekend started with a camping adventure at Icecicle Creek near Leavenworth, WA.  The mountains were absolutely breathtaking and the Wenatchee River was roaring up a storm with huge rapids.  We camped there for two nights and roasted marshmallows, drank wine and talked and talked.  It was magical.

While we were there we drove into the Bavarian themed town of Leavenworth.  All of the buildings in the village are reminiscent of traditional Bavarian architecture and there is more beer and sausage than one knows what to do with!  Being vegetarian, I opted for less German-like fare.

Next came a huge surprise.  My husband had booked us a suite at the Anna Pension Hotel and it was filled with amazingly beautiful antique furniture.  There were two suites that were located inside of a chapel that was built in 1892.  We didn't stay in either of those rooms but we got to take a tour of them.  The room we did stay in was perfect and when I walked in there was a gorgeous bouquet of roses and a bottle of sparkling wine to greet me.  Benjamin did a good job!

No getaway would be complete without a trip to the local antique stores.  The ones in Leavenworth were mediocre at best but I still managed to get a really old chalk board and a dainty little handkerchief.  We also went for a long walk along the river and saw the most beautiful wildflowers everywhere.  Towards the end of the evening I came across an old fruit warehouse and I just loved the vintage font that read "Pears" painted a crossed it.

To end our perfect adventure, we popped into the Reptile Zoo in Monroe to feast our eyes on the 10 most deadliest snakes, alligators, turtles, spiders and more!  There I saw the most incredible thing ever..... a two headed turtle!  It was the greatest weekend of my life.
