Wenatchee, here we come!! The often planned but never happens trip to get mom and dad up to see Mike and Kristi finally gets on the road. The motor home gave us the opportunity to have a place to sleep, eat, potty and work crossword puzzles all while on the move. Actually things went really smooth and the drive didn't seem too bad at all and everyone survived rather well





Things were pretty comfy inside and plenty of opportunity to visit and watch the scenery. Mom spent a lot of the time resting on the bed in back but sleep was hard to come by. It seems that every bump in the road was multiplied and she bounced all over the place.







Mike and Kristi have a beautiful home and Wenatchee is a beautiful place to live. They are surrounded by groves of fruit trees in every conceivable corner. The peach season was over, the pears on the last leg but the apples were everywhere. No matter what direction you traveled you were surrounded by trees full of apples and trucks loaded with them heading to the storage and juice facilities.




We spent a couple days of R&R in their home before heading back.











We met the
Duke and toured his personal museum





We peered into the world of collecting and organizing. And to think that at one time trading cards use to decorate bubble gum packs.










And to top it all off we had a visit from Elvis. No wonder he was so famous!!




Just up the street from Wenatchee is the town of Leavenworth. It reminded us of some of the
towns we drove through in Europe All in all we had a great trip and mom and dad were happy to finally see Mike and Kristi's home. We feel we were blessed to all do so well.
