Chelan and Leavenworth

June 4, 2018
We arrived in Chelan after noon so we went for a Mexican lunch and then to the park to get set up. My sister Terry usually comes over in her motor home but she sold it so will be staying in the motel next to the RV park. We just relaxed around the park for the day. It was sunny but quite windy.

After breakfast we went to Lake Chelan Winery to pick up some wine and stock up in their gift store. This is always a great stop. After that we went to Benson Estate Wines and MVP Cellars. In the evening we went back to Lake Chelan Winery for dinner. We had a 2 for 1 coupon for their baby back rib meat sandwich dinner. It is a half rack of rib meat on a fresh Po Boy roll, cole slaw and the best baked beans we have ever tasted.

Today I went to the driving range in the morning. After lunch we visited a few tasting rooms and had a relaxing afternoon in the park. Our camping neighbors were Buzz and Kathy from White Rock BC. They have a 40 ft. fifth wheel they tow with a Ford F450. Buzz is an admitted clean freak. He spent all the time he could cleaning his truck and RV. We had Terry over for dinner. BBQ burgers and chips. Then sitting by the fire until the wind chased us indoors.

After breakfast we went to a few more tasting rooms. One, Chelan Ridge is owned by Henry and Lynn, is one of our favorites. They are selling the winery so they can retire and enjoy the next stage of their lives. We will miss them. Then back to the park for our final night in Chelan.

Today we relocated to Wenatchee River County RV Park for three nights. Sue Engel, who used to be our neighbor lives in Wenatchee and has had some health issues so we want to go see her. We got to the park, unhooked and went into Leavenworth for lunch at Icicle Brewing Co. The town was crazy busy but we found parking near the brewery. We had a great lunch and went back to the park to get set up. It was a nice evening but started raining pretty hard at about 10.

We went to Sue's home at about 11. Four days ago she had a pace maker inserted and she was not feeling too well. She said she was in some pain and had no energy. Her Great Niece Amanda has been staying with her since the procedure. Her son Dennis and his wife Cathy came by as well. We had a great time for about 2 hours. Sue said she was exhausted so we left. We went to the Igloo Tavern for lunch. We have been there before and they have great fries and very cold beer. Gail had a cup of chili and a side of fries, I had a chili dog. It was massive and had fries too. Then we went back to the park for the rest of the day.

About mid day we decided to visit a couple of wineries. First we went to Icicle Ridge Winery. We have been here before and the wines are pretty good. The tasting room itself is a 5000 sq ft log home the owner built himself. It is a phenomenal building. After the winery got started he decided to make the log home the tasting room and built another home on the property. From there we went to Silvara Wines.This was out first time here and we were impressed. The hosts were great and the wines were as well. Then back to the park for our last night on the trip.
