Two-Day Road Trip to Leavenworth, Chapter Six

Posted on September 14, 2022 by Mokihana

The wedding was wonderful, and we were so glad we’d made the trip. Seeing ʻohana again and for the first time filled our cups to da max. We hated to leave at 7:30 p.m., but we’d been up since 7 a.m. and had had a long day of driving through a lot of road construction, and we had at least a 30-minute drive to our motel in Wenatchee. So we said our goodbyes, reluctantly, and got back on the road again.

This is a really bad photo of that hairpin turn going back up the other way.

Here we’re heading up the hill towards Goldendale. We’d been on this highway several years ago, only going in the opposite direction. So it was like new territory for us.

But this was an important trip: my niece was getting married up in Leavenworth, Washington. Her dad and I are first cousins (I’m not worrying about my exactly relationship to her, because u know wat? I no cayah. Ha! It feels like she’s my niece, so that’s what I’m calling her.) Anyway, her mom and dad have been extremely important people in my life, ever since our first trip to Montana in 2009.
