Fall Festival

It was a perfectly innocent plan. I thought we'd just drive over to Leavenworth (Washington's fake Bavarian Village) for the day, with the notion just in the back of my mind that there is a simply wonderful fudge shop there, and that any day that ends with fudge is a great day.

But we were surprised to find that the biggest festival of the year - celebrating Autumn Leaves - was happening today. There was a parade and food booths and a polka band in the gazebo and all the rest of 'festival' trappings. (Including, of course, problems finding a parking place - one of the side effects of our wanderings that seems to always baffle us.)

The parade was a hoot, as small town parades always are. We had a great lunch, including a great apple pie for dessert, and even found the fudge shop again.

So here is a glimpse of our day.







A good time was had by all?
