Finding My Aloha: Welcome Weekend!

Welcome Weekend!

Happy Friday! We snapped these family photos last weekend during our mini vacation to Leavenworth, WA. Leavenworth is a darling Bavarian village nestled in the Cascade Mountains. Those Bavarian's sure know how to put on a great Oktoberfest! The drive up was so gorgeous with all the fall colors out in full glory.

This weekend we are looking forward to going to an Apple Squeeze to press our own apple cider and our little town is holding its annual Pumpkin Festival where we get to see and taste all things pumpkin! Yum. I hope you all get the chance to get out and enjoy some Autumnal activities. Its apple season, so if pressing your own cider sounds right up your alley, go check out PickYourOwn.org. PYO is an awesome site that lists pick-your-own farms and pumpkin farms and is searchable by State and County. If you are looking to pick out a pumpkin for the porch, gather cornstalks, or snatch up a haybale check the PYO website and make your way to the nearest farm for some harvest time fun!

The photos are beautiful! There is a similar Bavarian village nestled in the mountains near my hometown in Northeast Georgia. The cheesy charm is almost too much to handle! : )
Thanks for your comment. You're sweet!

Hi Lauren! How cool that there is a sister Bavarian village in GA! Who knew? Leavenworth isnt too cheesy though...you actually feel like you could be in the Bavarian Alps....but its probably because of the beautiful mountainous backdrop. Have a wonderful weekend, dear!
