PohPoh and GoongGoong came up to visit a few days before the cruise and stayed for a little bit after too. We took advantage of them being here to explore some of our favorite local getaways so we can show them some more about what makes the PNW so great!
First up was Leavenworth. Nora and I took them on a quick overnighter to enjoy the fun Bavarian vibes over there. It was different to visit during the summer months. In fact, it was downright hot (over 90 degrees) and the outdoor beer gardens even had little misters going! On the way home, we also stopped in the little town of Roslyn for lunch.

We caught this pretty sunset on the walk back to our hotel room. |

Roslyn was an old mining town. I thought these mining cars were interesting. |
After the cruise, we headed out to Seabrook for the weekend. The last time we went was in 2020, and Evie can't stop talking about how much fun she had on that trip. Even though it was only a few years ago, the town has already grown quite a bit!! In fact, we stayed in a house that is part of a whole new neighborhood and they were breaking ground on an entire new section too. The main street has also evolved and has more stores and restaurants, and there is a newly built outdoor community pool and gym. The weather brought in some fog early in the afternoon so it was pretty cold but I think the girls nonetheless still enjoyed Seabrook. My parents liked walking around the town and marveled at how clean and new everything was.
