For those we lost, We will not forget 09/11/2001 “Our God given unalienable rights are given to us all as individuals. They tell us what we may do for ourselves, and they are the embodiment of liberty. The so-called rights that government gives to some of us are parcelled out to select groups as classes. They tell us what one class of people may require another to do for them, and they are the very essence of slavery.”

A trip to Leavenworth (WA)

Today we loaded up the van and took a trip to Leavenworth. They're having their tree lighting festival, but we went so that we could have another snow day, and to eat at Visconti's Italian Restaurant. That's right, an Italian restaurant in a Bavarian Village.

We drove over Snoqualmie Pass and then headed North over Blewitt Pass. Just past the summit on Blewitt I pulled over to take a few pictures...

After a brief stop, it was back into the van and on to Leavenworth. The parking lots were full of busses and the streets were lined with people. I ended up dropping my wife and my mother off just outside the restaurant and driving outside of town to the Safeway to park. Lucas and I caught a trolley back into town.

Once we got into town we met up with my wife and my mother and wandered around town for a while.

We ate a really nice dinner at Visconti's and went through a couple of shops before we finally caught the trolley and headed back to the Safeway outside town, stopped at an Espresso stand and drove home.

We had a lot of fun, enjoyed the snow and the food. All in all it was a great day, if a little cold.
