Leavenworth Washington and hidden lake hike trip

Link to Leavenworth and hidden lake hike movies

Also - there are a lot of pics of scenery, so it you are looking for pics of the kids or the town, you will want to skip a ways down the page.  Also - Leavenworth is a nice place to visit, but 1 night was plenty of time there, we saw most everything and were ready to go, and only stayed as late as we did waiting for the nutcracker museum to open, as it is only open in the afternoon for a few hours......

Leavenworth Washington - the town - the waffle makers at the icicle in - M was raving about these - helpful hint - to get  your waffle out easier - pop the handle up when opening so the waffle pop loosens it a bit, if you open it slow the waffle is hard to remove, watched the guy next to me destroy his waffle getting it out.

Leavenworth Washington - the town - free samples of spicy sauce.   I read all the warnings and so when I took some the 1st time I was very careful to just get a tiny dab.... I tried it, and it wasn't too bad... so then I came back later and slathered it on pretzels and ate it 3 times, and my mouth was burning pretty good after that.... I then went and got a smoothie(which wasn't very good, but I drank it quite fast).  SO in conclusion, while spicy, I think the warnings were way overblown.  Also - Y bought some other sauce after she tried it, so we weren't just free loading the sauce...
