Pybus Market

Here in the great city of Wenatchee…. you can visit Pybus Market and shop your heart out for fresh everything: flowers, baked breads, meats, veggies, apples, pears — dream it up. They will probably have it.

The choices are endless.

I really couldn’t take my eyes off the flowers.

My people, they were on a mission.

I was wandering around doing touristy things.

Imagine my surprise when I found out the big celebration of the weekend was the DALIA BLOOMS! I just happened to have planted a few beds of Dalia’s this year and have loved watching them grow.

These were great…but, really? I could be some sort of winner too! (Ahem, or my hubby. He stuck my bulbs in the spots I picked)

Oh me and my yard!!

The place was full of these jokers. I’m seriously feeling cockypants over my own Dalia gardens. Dudes!

Out & About in Wenatchee Washington

Monday, September 26th, 2016

We’ve done a bit of exploring, as tourists tend to do.

lr trip

My hubby has been chomping to take my car somewhere dangerous and climb where no man can go. (Ahem, no….I’m not ready to let my car be a victim of an accident! Remember: the new drone?)

So, we did a little climbing up at Yoyo Rock on the Columbia River in Wenatchee.

I know….I see boobies, not a yo-yo. But, hey…whatev’s man!

We took our fellow explorers with us.

The weather was truly glorious!

We had a tailgate picnic while we watched some boaters do a little fishing! They were catching salmon, wall-eye, bass and something I can’t remember. I only recall being a lot jealous! Reminded me of our Canada fishing trip.

The water is icy cold and clear as glass.

Of course we did some kissin’!

And some jumpin’!

The days are dwindling down. We have a few more places to check off our list before we leave to head back to Indiana. Traveling has a way of opening up your mind to dreams of living other places. For me, I think Montana would work. My hubby? Likes Idaho. Hrmph!

I D A H O! Okay, it was an 80mph snap of the state sign…but, still. I believe Montana has all the pretty trees.

Instead of taking off on a romantic anniversary vacation…my hubby and I loaded down our car with camping gear, cameras, hot & cold weather clothing and a bunch of stuff WE MIGHT NEED and hit the open road.

Starting point (Saturday) – Indianapolis, Indiana

Final destination (Wednesday) – Wenatchee, Washington

ysp 7

We had no agenda. Just to go, see and do whatever the heck we wanted to do.

The weather all along the journey was P E R F E C T!

Day 1 we made it to Onawa Iowa and plopped down our tent beside a beautiful lake. No power, no water….but lots of mosquitoes! No problem. I can go without, a little. Just not showers! The campground had a nice shower house that I headed straight for the next morning.

Imagine the irony after my shower when I plugged in my hair dryer and blew the breaker to the whole bathroom. I had to go OUTSIDE and plug in to dry my hair on the porch of the main building. Oh and use my curling iron with no mirror on the porch. I made so many new friends there.

Who can think of doing up a smart hair-do with all these views??

Old Faithful didn’t disappoint. We arrived just in time to have lunch and walk outside to see him blow his stack!

I didn’t get much sleep in Wyoming. I’m blaming it on the fact that we camped in the very last spot where they allow tent camping because of bears. Therefore, I slept with one eye open listening all night long for my impending death by bear attack!

I woke up exhausted!

My dude just snored on through the night.

Yellowstone National Park was fabulous! Beautiful scenery, incredible animals….amazing cool weather. Gorgeous!

We came to the conclusion though that wherever we picked to stop, the crowds seemed to follow. It would get crowded and we would peel out for the next spot!

On our adventure we drove through Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Washington. Oh my word! I can’t wait to do it again! This land is so beautiful!

In the meantime, I am so excited to be in Washington with family. While I’m not thankful for an unemployed husband – I am very grateful for this free time to explore, think, pray and strategize our next step.

Road Trip 2016!! Rolling on, friends!!
