Lasagna and Leavenworth (but mostly just Leavenworth this time)

I leave for Mexico today.

I wish I had clever things to say, or a super good post all about Leavenworth, since it was a month ago and since then Halloween happened and when I come back, I’m pretty sure I will only want to talk about Mexico. Because it’s going to be SO awesome. I have big plans for napping, reading, drinking margaritas, napping, and laying by the pool/beach. I have 5 awesomely terrible books queued up on the Nook, ready to be read on a lounger. But I don’t so here’s this post instead.

I also have been thinking all the time about how my life relates to Boy Meets World and Saved by the Bell and Friends. I really want to post about that too. Because I love the 90’s and the 2000’s. And for real, it relates. Also, side bar, I was thinking about this BEFORE they announced a Boy Meets World reboot. I’m not sure how I feel about said reboot. I don’t even know if I can watch it. You don’t mess with perfection. Seriously. They are going to mess it up. I’m sure. Corey and Topanga forever!

Leavenworth was SO amazing! So I will try and do it justice; pretty much the most fun weekend ever.

Upon arrival we had celebratory shots ( of course). We then proceed to eat, drink, play some dance game on the Kinect, and then hot tub.

As a side note, this house was huge and awesome. The room that roommate and I stayed in actually had a loft, that was 10 feet up, so we had to climb a latter to get into our bed. A 10 foot latter. Not sober. I’m very proud of roommate and I for not falling off, either night when we climbed up.  It was actually pretty awesome. I felt like I was 10. Only just the awesome part, not the awkward part.

Just the Ladies!

 

We also had a hot tub dance party, per usual. Pretty much dance party’s happen anytime roommate and I go to a regular party. Fact.

Pirates?...Maybe. Awesome?....Definitly.

 

Saturday we went into Leavenworth during the day and checked out the town, we went to a couple little shops and got corn dogs. Not a bad afternoon if you ask me. Probably just because corn dogs are my drug of choice.

 

 

 Saturday night I cooked the lasagnas, and roommate and I got into our super awesome beer wench outfits, complete with mary jane’s and curled hair. I think we were rather authentic. We then went to the festival itself which was really great. But cold. All the beer lines were outside, and true beer wenches do not need coats. Obviously. Oh yeah, also, it was 40 degrees.

Please ignore the Photo Bombing Cougar. Or don't. Up to you.

There was some good people watching and some really excellent dancing at Oktoberfest. I am SO stoked to go again next year. We also got some pretty funny questions while wondering around in our outfits. We had a TON of people ask to take pictures with us. We had quite a few braniac’s ask if we were cold (really? REALLY?). We also had quite a few boys stop us and tell us how pretty we were and that they didn’t know what to say, followed by awkward mumbling. Hint to the boys of the world: a better opening line is “Hi I’m _____. You’re pretty. What’s your name?”.  Just as an FYI. They were cute though ;)

Sunday we did some exploring around the house we stayed out. The beauty of this state never ceases to amaze me. I feel so blessed to be born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. I really can't think of any better place.

 

Then it was back to Seattle and back to real life for the week, before we celebrated Halloween the next weekend. We were the Ninja turtles. It was awesome. Here are our costumes. Commence being jealous J
