Dion and Christy's Travels

Lake Chelan

Labor Day Weekend was spent in the quaint lake town of Chelan, about three hours east of Seattle. Good friend Anne, and wife of Dion's college buddy Cam, grew up there and invited us for the long weekend with her family.
A highlight had to be Friday when we arrived. Anne's parents had planned a wine tasting tour for friends of theirs and graciously included us. After some lovely Gewurztraminer and Merlot tastings, we headed back to their home on the water where a local chef and great family friend of theirs cooked the party up a summer menu of gazpacho and grilled skewers. Memorable meal and evening to say the least.
The rest of the weekend was spent rock jumping, boating, and rotating between a favored board game (Sequence) and throwing the aerobie off the dock later to retrieve it in the crystal clear Chelan water. It all made for a very restful way to spend the holiday.
