Willkommen in Leavenworth

An uneventful drive brought us from Seattle to Leavenworth, a Bavarian-themed mountain city in Washington State’s Cascade Mountains. More about the town when we actually go out to explore tomorrow.

After doing a quick check of our Airbnb accommodations, we drove into town for a quick bite to eat before doing a provisioning run.

Leavenworth does not lack for restaurants. For our late lunch, we chose Yodelin … yes, a cute play on “yodeling.” The place bills itself as a broth company and beer garden with a menu that features everything from bone broth noodle bowls, to healthy salads, to burgers and more.

Despite a mid-day temp that was ready to leave the 80s for the 90s, we sat in the garden … in a shaded area near the back where there were only two picnic tables … separated by a stack of wood. I thought my burger was good. Mui thought his Enchanted salad — to which he had grilled salmon added — was not so great … and huge … even for him. We won’t be returning there for another meal.

Dessert was delicious ice cream from Whistlepunk … their single scoops very generous. We will definitely be returning there for more sweet treats while we’re in Leavenworth.Read more
