PCS to VA

We are a military family and were stationed in WA. Having lived arounf Fort Lewis for the past 6 years, we were given orders to Fort Belvoir, VA. We stayed the first two nights at Penrose State Park. It was a nice park and the sites spaced so you could enjoy the tall pines. It had lots of easy walking trails. Very nice and true to Wa, damp and wet even in early July. We then traveled to Eastern Wa and drier and warmer temps. We arrived at Lake Wenatchee Lake State Park late yesterday. This morning, I was reminded I still was in WA, it was rainy and cool, 56 degrees. To get here we drove over Stevens Pass and Blewett Pass, elev 4100 ft! The snow capped mountains, with waterfalls, even in July, are beautiful. We dropped down into Leavenworth, WA. This Storybook town is full of Bavarian hotels and Shops. We drove along the Icicle River. We are staying at the State Park here. The park is nice and well kept. The spots are not on top of each other. We are staing in the North loop. The South Loop is crowded and all the spots are tight. Today we went to the Fish Hatchery. We grabbed some groceries and headed back. The kids met someother camper kids and were running for hours. It was good to see them having fun. So far we are getting this camping thing!
