Bavarian Anniversary

My husband, Rocke surprised me with a Bavarian retreat for our 39th Anniversary.   We golfed at the Leavenworth Golf Course, stayed at Eyrie cabin at the Sleeping Lady Resort, enjoyed a spa day, putted through  Leavenworth’s Enzian Falls Championship Putting Course, had an art walk through the 67 acre art laced Sleeping Lady resort, and had plenty of time to explore Leavenworth.  We had a secluded cabin where one evening while we were sitting on the back deck a ten point buck was no more than 100 feet away and stayed with us the whole evening.  You can see the deer in the middle of the picture. 

Harriet Bullitt built the Sleeping Lady Resort by converting the old Camp Field where my husband’s siblings went to summer camp and his brother spent time as the camp’s care taker and a counselor/mountain guide which added a special feeling to the retreat.  It was a fun weekend and just before the worst fire of the century roared through Leavenworth.   Our thoughts go out to all those affected by the tragic fire.
