6 hour trip NORTH to Bellingham...how'd that happen?

June 4th, Saturday: Yes, we are heading back north to MORE wine country...just a hiccup in the layout of the plan, but traveling a different route and a better chance to see more of the country. We stopped at a couple of very charming antiques shop called the THE RUSTIC ROOSTER ANTIQUES & HOME DECOR and for some authentic Mexican lunch at El Caporal before we hit the road. hile browsing we spoke to the owner of a charming little antique shop--it seemed that everyone we spoke with from waiters to shop owners knew someone from WI and close to where we live in Appleton. The owner suggested to take HWY2,  said it was gorgeous and it WAS--beyond words! Who would believe this State is so beautiful with snow cape mountain tops and deep ridged valleys and winding rivers and streams! Each turn or the hwy was breathtakingly beautiful--just no other way to describe it. The roads were clean and traffic was minimal.

TEMP DROPPED TO 57 from 67degrees
Our highest elevation was @ Stevens pass @ 4k feet
Our first sign of vegetation and green was Wenatchee Valley when we met HWY2
The Heart of Washington...home of premium wines and world famous apples.Located in the Heart of Washington State on the sunny side of the Cascade Mountains, Wenatchee is a short drive from Seattle and Spokane. More importantly, its' location is a vacationers dream. Wine touring, antiquing, fruit stands, hiking, biking, river rafting, golfing, fishing, and festivals. Our next stop was Levenworth--A bavarian style little Germany with shops & cafes....
