Escape to Chelan

Look close - zoom in on the water - it's so clear you can see huge fish!
Brian had a work trip (Washington Health Care Symposium...or something like that) in the lovely city of Chelan - a cute little touristy town about 3.5 hrs away. We spontaneously decided to hop in the car and join him! Family vacation! The kids were out-of-their-minds excited. They couldn't have been more happy if the destination was Hawaii or Disneyworld. They spent the whole day preceding the trip literally jumping around the house.  And the girls woke up at 5:45am to start packing their bags (though we weren't planning to leave until 8) So maybe lesson learned: don't tell the kids we're leaving until the DAY-of.... so that we can all maintain normal sleep hours :)
We're lucky the kids are all pretty good travelers, even Charity. They slept, snacked, read, talked.... and I only heard a few, "Are we THERE yet?"s   So the drive wasn't too horrid. Though it still seemed very LONG. I don't even know how I managed that insanely long Utah drive a year ago all by myself with them. Craziness.
Breakfast on the beach! 
Late night bonfire on the waterfront
Early morning reading time in the hotel room, waiting for Charity to wake up
Lunching at a park in Wenatchee on the way home.
