Bavarian Rapids

Tim and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary this weekend!  Woot!

To mark the occasion, we headed over the mountains to the Wenatchee River and their infamous white water rapids.  Tim and I have both become enamored with rafting and it seemed like a perfect way to celebrate the milestone.

Of course, even though we have three cameras, none of them are waterproof, so pictures from our trip down the river are limited...very limited.

I did say they were limited...right?!  As for the trip, it was FANTASTIC! Our guide did a great job of entertaining us during the lulls in the river and at guiding us into (and out of) the best rapids.  We were "paired" with a group of six 20-somethings from the Tri-Cities, so we all had a great time goofing around and enjoying ourselves.  I believe everyone got tossed/pushed/fell into the river at one point on the trip.  We even managed to play Duck, Duck, Goose, a first for our river guide.  I was the only one who made it around the raft twice without falling in...go me! 

After our trip, the company provided dinner and then we headed to our hotel in Leavenworth...

The Enzian Inn

Our room was gorgeous and quintessentially Bavarian...

 

The next morning we woke up and enjoyed an Alphorn concert while munching on a continental breakfast (and, yes, we did forget the camera).  

After checking out, we spent the rest of the morning exploring downtown Leavenworth and its many boutiques...

Eventually it was time to head back to the car and back home, but on our way to the hotel parking lot, we realized that this is our room.

We had a turret and didn't even know!

And this is what makes Leavenworth amazing...the view...and this was from our parking lot!

We decided to head back over Highway 2 and managed to stop at this beautiful river-side beach.  

It was a fitting end to our drive when we passed our wedding venue on our way through Snohomish!

Finally, last year I put together a collage of pictures from our 1st year.  I had to do that again, because this year was WAY more insane and full of more adventures than we could have even imagined!
