We moved to the Chelan County Expo in Cashmere, WA. We were not able to fit into Leavenworth’s Thousand Trails as they don’t have long enough sites. The County Expo is a large open field with sites on it and no trees, they do have full electric and sewer, which is really nice. When we pulled in, I found a rock on the picnic table. It has a website miasmovingmountains.com on it, it’s about a sweet little girl who had Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome. She had a challenging life, earning her angel wings at just 8 1/2 months old. I took the rock to plant at another campground along our journey. That way her legacy travels along with us a bit.
We took a drive along the mountain pass and to a little diner. The view along the road was stunning and followed the river.
One morning we had brunch at little diner that we saw on Guy Fieri’s Family Road Trip show. It was an adorable little place and we had awesome wait staff! I ordered got a philly sub and a pineapple/coconut shake. Ed got a chocolate shake and breakfast.
We explored Leavenworth, which is a touristy little Bavarian Village. The streets in town are all blocked off so that it makes it easier for the people to get around. We went to a little gingerbread bakery and got some really yummy treats. I bought a Matryoshka, a Russian Nesting doll. Ed found an interesting candy shop, it had a bunch of vintage candy and a some that was ‘free-dried’. Ed got a few vintage candies. LOL!
We also went to the little town down the road, Cashmere. It is a tiny town and is really very cute. They have these little gnome vignettes all over town. They have a map you can follow to find all of them. We just happened on a few and they were really cute. They even had little gnome footprints on the sidewalks in town that led to some. We went to a pharmacy that has a little soda fountain in the back and had root beer floats.
**The referral came through and Ed finally saw the Dermatologist. He had a biopsy and the Dermatologist is pretty certain it is basal cell carcinoma…we were hoping that it may be something a bit less serious. Unfortunately, Ed’s biopsy came back, it is basal cell carcinoma. He has to have a Mohs surgery in a few weeks. We have to wait for the VA to get a referral in the system. Everything with the VA takes what seems like forever. We are going to change plans and move closer to Seattle again. We are hopeful that the Dermatologist that did his biopsy will be able to do the Mohs surgery. I don’t feel comfortable leaving Washington until this whole situation is over and Ed has a 100% clean bill of health.
