I am really going to try and keep this post short because I really feel like I can write a book about our amazing trip to Leavenworth. We had a fantastic time and it was the best girls weekend ever! We started the trip by Anna, Michelle, Theresa and I leaving Puyallup around 3:30(only a half hour after the scheduled time to leave-anna's fault-lol). I drove the whole time because I get car sick if not. When we got there we picked up our race packets and headed to Stephanie's families cabin they were renting for a pasta dinner.(which was very good-btw) Well, Anna took over driving and I sat in the back seat thinking it wasn't very far. Well, we got very lost and the half hour drve turned into an hour and a half and I ended up throwing up on the side of the road, while everyone laughed at me! It really was kind of funny. We finally made it to Stephanies house. We ate,visited and then headed back to the hotel for our good night rest before the race.

We then went back to the hotel for a restful night sleep after some more girl talk so we could wake up for our 13.1 miles of running.
I saw my cousiin, Becky there. She lives in Yakima and it was fun to catch up with her.
Anna had the idea that we all match and wear princess tiara's while we ran. Our shirts said "sole" sisters and we got a lot of compliments on our look.
Theresa, me and Michelle getting ready to torture ourselves!
This is at about mile 5 and we were still happy!
Afterwards and I think I am going to fall over.
So when all was said and done, we decided to take a dip in the freezing river. Anna was the only one that went all the way under. I was about halfway and Michelle just put her feet in.
I didn't get very many scenery picture but it was so beautiful. I loved looking around at all the changing leaves and beautiful mountains.
Going into town we saw this:
The fun hat shop where we tried on glasses and hats and had a lot of fun, besides dealing with a drunk guy behind us!
We asked this nice german gentleman if we could take a picture with him.
We went on horse and buggy ride through Leavenworth and when we were done we fed the horse an apple. Judging by the look on my face, I thought it was pretty gross.-lol
This is after a fun filled day. We went back to the hotel and got our suits on and went swimming and soaking in the hot tub.
It was a perfect weekend and I am so glad I went. I feel refreshed and renewed and ready to take on the world, atleast until next week when I leave for Utah and Vegas without any kids and I can rest again but then I will be with my sexy hubby!:)
