The boys did really well. Mason even seemed to have a fun ride up there. He gets car sick, so we tried to plan the least "curvy" route! We made it there in about 6 hours and still had a lot of daylight to kill, so we decided to go downtown and see some shops! The town is so beautiful! They really take great care and pride in their buildings.
We had been warned before leaving, that Leavenworth is not really a child friendly town, but we didn't listen! They were right! There is a lot of shopping, and very little for the kids to do!
We had a fun time visiting a local petting zoo, twice, in the neighboring town of Peshastan and the park that was just below our resort.
I think the Jackman family can cross off Leavenworth for places we have been, and probably will not go back to-until the boys are out of the house!On Friday morning we loaded everyone up in the car and off we went at 7 am. Mason didn't have anything but a cup of milk to eat, but we thought he would be fine! About an hour into our ride, Jacob started yelling "He is puking!" It was awful! We pulled off, cleaned as much as we could and off we went again!
We were never so happy to see Oregon traffic in our lives- I think we are airplane type of people!

Lots of things for children to do in Leavenworth:
Fish Hatchery--see the salmon
Icicle Junction Family Fun Center-climbing wall, movie theater, video games
Enzian Falls--stop and visit the mountain goats
Blackbird Island--stop and see the deer (right behind the town)
Leavenworth Nutcracacker museum--children can search for nutcrackers on a "hunt" and receive a prize. Ride the trolley--25 cents. Stop by the visitor center for more information.
Thanks anonymous for the ideas. We did most of those things. Icicle Junction was fun for about 20 min. but we are used to the arcade at our local casino and it wasn't that great. We went to Blackbird Island- no deer, and the Nutcracer Museum is closed during the week. We will go back, but minus kids!
