Off the Leavenworth.

Lots of little things to do in the morning before heading to pick up Wonderful hopefully at noon (or whenever his shipment of bottles arrives).

We are headed to the WorldMark Leavenworth for a quickly overnight mid-week mini-vacation in a 2-bedroom unit. This is part of my quest to stay at as many of the WorldMark units as I can. We all need goals in life.

Plans are to visit the Fish Hatchery before checking in if we get out of town around noon. If not, we will do it tomorrow afternoon on the way home. It’s a beautiful summer day for a top down drive. Turns out not. Maybe tomorrow for the fish hatchery — didn’t leave Wonderful’s until 1:15 because for once “I” was running late.

Nice drive over — made it in a little over two hours which means we were checking in a little before the 4pm check in — but the room had just been finished so in we go.

The room sits up on a bluff with a set of baseball fields in the bowl below — free entertainment! Cute guys playing ball. Both starving, I put together a pupu platter and cocktails. Life is rough.

Of all the things I remembered to bring, I forgot to bring the EVDO card so I’m stuck on T-mobiles slower network to check mail, cruise the web (in the slow lane) and update the blog. Wonderful went for a walk down to the river where we’d seen bunches of people getting off rafts — apparently its a big thing here.

Dinner is hunks of pork on the grill marinated in a Havana Citrus glaze. Wilted spinach — no bread, guess I should have either baked or bought some.

Quite evening around the fire with the air conditioning on with both of us seriously affected with allergies.
