We originally figured we were going to do mundane, routine chores like blog writing, laundry and tax form preparation but we were thankfully rescued from this stuff by Ian, Peggy’s nephew, stopping by our campground and offering us alternatives to boredom. His mom and Peggy’s sister, Tonie, also texted us that she was headed this way from her place on Whidbey Island over in Puget Sound. She is just delighted with Ian’s baby daughter, Ani, and misses few chances to visit her.
We piled into our truck with Ian doing the navigating for a short trip to Lake Wenatchee which was not ten miles from where we are camped. Lake Wenatchee is the source of the Wenatchee River which we followed through the gorge on our way home from dining in Leavenworth last night. It is a relatively small lake and one can see the other shore across the water but it is surrounded by very steep, snow-covered mountains and it is quite a striking view from the state park at the east end. We bought a Washington State Parks yearly pass in the parking lot because we believe we will be visiting some other state parks while in this section of the north central part of this pretty state.
We were sitting along the shore chatting when we got a phone call from Ian’s mom who had already covered the distance from Langley to our campground. We rolled back over to the campground where we all got to chat a while before Ian and Tonie went on to take care of their bizz and we were sent back to our boring taxes and laundry.
