On Saturday, we drove to Leavenworth and met up with Nate and Stacey. On the way east we crossed Snoqualmie, then Blewett.
In Leavenworth we walked through town, then to the tasting room of Eagle Creek winery.
After an afternoon of winery hopping down the valley, we went back to Nate's new house above Wenatchee. It's a great big place, including a below-ground (viz. sound proof) music room and a guest suite. His current dream is to buy the lot below him and grow wine grapes. Nate made a dinner of filet mignon, greek salad and garlic roasted potatoes. We washed it down with some Grenache Noir I brought along, then followed it with a glass of rye and played music for a while.
He has a great panoramic view. At night the lights of downtown Wenatchee are bright.
Nate and Stacey have an 18 month old daughter, Kate, and another child on the way. Kate is energetic and cheerful.
This was our second weekend leaving the city for a day and we've decided we like getting out on the weekends. Still, neither of us is tempted to stay gone much more than 24 hours. We took Highway 2 back, over Stevens Pass, and decided Blewett is the much better route.
