Washington Nummer Eins

What a new post?! It's a miracle! (cue Hallelujah chorus).  This summer has been a doozy so far.  Down right delightful.  I went to Washington with my roommates and then California with one of the greatest people in the whole wide world.

So lets focus on the highlights here...and since I love lists, lets pick the top 5 moments of the Washington trip.

1. Taking pictures by all of the state signs (or at least the ones we could find or that weren't in an extremely treacherous location).

So this little gem was by the Idaho sign...obviously.  I think I am having sympathy stomach for Mandi in this picture.  And the others in the picture are Jenny, Danielle, and Sydnee.

Next stop Washington...I look like an over zealous aphid in the top pic but no worries I'm a beauty queen in the bottom one.  These pictures were taken on a bridge with extreme winds.  Sydnee gave a free show to many a passerby when her skirt refused to stay down. 

2.  Leavenworth. So Leavenworth is like a little mini Germany in Washington.  It was quite magical, the mountains even looked like the Alps.  See...

We also visited this amazing hat shop while in Leavenworth.  And of course when you have weird hats and a camera on hand, a photo shoot must follow.

I don't know if you can tell but the crown I'm wearing is about 2 feet high.  And I am making this face because I was channeling an evil queen.

Top Picture: Sydnee the Ewok

Middle Top:  Jenny the bashful flower

Middle Bottom: Danielle the forest nymph

Bottom: Melanlock Holmes 

And just a couple more from Leavenworth:

As soon as someone informs me how...I will make it so Sydnee isn't sliding down this wall.  And you should probably enlarge the middle picture. I look much better when its bigger.

Holly Schmolly! I've only done 2 out of 5.  Looks like this will have to be several posts.  So I'll see you when I get the gumption to continue.
