Colchuck Lake Hike

I love all things fall:
Pumpkins
Pumpkin-flavored-everything
Apples
Weather
Leaves
Color
Scarves and boots
Oktoberfest

Since moving to the PNW, Aaron and I go to Oktoberfest in Leavenworth, WA.  
It's this tiny little German town in the middle of the mountains.

I love love love love Leavenworth.

Aaron and I decided to hike to Colchuck Lake
And for good reason
If you ever make it to Washington, put this on your list of hike you MUST do.  

Road trip time!

Frolicking in Washington

As I've mentioned so many times before, boyfriend and I don't have the same days off so we don't get to go on as many weekend adventures like we used to.

That's okay.

So we both planned to take a few days to go explore Washington.
You see, boyfriend has a love affair with mountains, and up in Washington live the Cascades. 
Google them. 
They're badass. 

So we decided to go on a couple little hikes, explore Bellingham (a coastal college town), and Leavenworth (a Bavarian themed town).

Our hikes were dependent on the weather - and due to tons of rain, we stuck with short hikes. 

No backpacking adventures for us!  I may get dirty with the boyfriend, but I refuse to camp/backpack in the rain.  Sounds like a muddy nightmare to me!

You'll see the colors were
AH-MAZING
TO DIE FOR
BEAUTIFUL

I adore Fall more than any season, so I was in HOG-HEAVEN the entire time.





We car camped the first night. Car Sweet Car

It was a lovely little trip, and while the rain put a damper (no pun intended) on some of the things we wanted to do, we didn't let it hold us back!
