Bright and early Saturday morning, Rich, Chukar and I loaded into the truck and headed EAST...destination North Cascades highway!
Someone was a little anxious to get out of town...and also wanted to make sure he wasn't going to get left home alone!
Stop #1: Munchen Haas and a Massage in Leavenworth!
Stop #2: A quick bite in Chelan - location unknown (picture not taken) - but a delicious BLT was had!
Stop #3: Pateros for a leg stretch and swim for the pup! It was a hot day and we wanted to make sure the Chukar was able to keep cool!
He loves the water...
Aren't we cute...hahah! That's what a day worth of traveling looks like!
Stop 4: A place to camp for the night...
Since we just celebrated Mile #3 of marriage...we thought this campsite about 20 miles outside of Twisp was perfect for the night!
Getting all settled in...yes, it was DUSK when we arrived. Just enough time to grill up some dinner, enjoy the fire and hit the tent!
Chukar protecting me while at the campfire...he's always loved to sit on top of us, but now with a big belly, he has a little less room to fit.
Yes, I make a great FIRE!
Rise and Shine...time for a little breakfast for Chukar
and coffee for Rich! He was so excited to use his percolator for the first time!
So we waited...
and waited for it to boil...but it was worth the wait! We enjoyed the coffee then packed up to head into town and get some "real" food! It was my birthday so I knew an Eggs Benedict was in my future.
Proof that at 26 weeks pregnant...I camped! Such a trooper! hahah!
Hanging out with my favorite pup and enjoying every second of it (since we were still thinking worst case scenario at this point). Thankfully now, we know he is a healthy pup with just a little bad luck and a shoulder sprain.
My 2 favorite boys in the world...can't include Monster here yet because HE could be a SHE....only time will tell!
Stop #5: Breakfast in TWISP...BEST, I mean, BEST Eggs Benedict I have even had in my life. Would consider the 4+ hour drive to enjoy these again on a random weekend...that's how good they were!
Stop #6: A little lake outside of Winthrop to do a little paddle boating!
I figured if Chukar could swim...so could I (and it was AMAZING)!
The view from the boat....
Our happy little trooper...for all the driving, he sure was a good boy!
Stop 7: Hart's Pass for a late lunch and relaxation!
Always the poser...look at that awesome meadow!
Of course, this is my favorite shot from the weekend...sure looks like a dog on "bed rest"...but come on, he was happy and having fun!
The view from Hart's Pass...the picture does not do the view justice.
We ended up with a few more stops along the way home...but decided it was time to call it a weekend when we all looked like this...
Overall, the weekend was a recharge for all 3 of us and a reminder of how much fun it is to just jump in the car and hit a dirt road! To many more adventures...and many more happy birthdays!
