North Cascades

We had our first family vacation over the Fourth of July Weekend. Our journey started early Friday; heading toward Winthrop (stopping at a little coffee shop in Pateros that was, believe it or not, amazing). We spent the day walking around Winthrop, what a cool little podunk tourist town, then headed over the North Cascades Scenic Highway.. (I can't believe this place is almost in our back yard!) It was beautiful. Mad seemed to enjoy looking out the window in between naps and staring at her toys in the back seat. We stayed in a chalet nestled in the woods outside of Marbelmount. We hiked, roasted marshmallows, played some cards, and even enjoyed some guitar solo's from a campsite close to ours.. Our favorite part of the trip was watching madeline's eyes brighten with wonder in the outdoors. It's such an incredible gift to be able to introduce the world to her. Ryan and I loved our trip through Winthrop so much that we ended up heading back in the same direction. After a short game of put put, Sasha won of course:) and a bite to eat out on the deck of a neat little cafe we slowly.. drug our feet on the way home, stopping a few more times, just because we could.
