Hey DR... welcome back and thanks for your servive!!

My wife and I always seem to have to celibrate our annivesary the couple weeks of October (the offical date is the first week of September but I am never home with bowhunting and all) but what we have done on several occasions is...

Take a drive over Blewitt Pass with a stop on the way at the resturant/inn just across the road from Medicine Creek Campground/Road (on the east side of Hwy 97)... they have great homemade pie... good snack or lunch....

The fall colors are just beautiful right now and will get better, lots of vine maple and leaf trees changing color...

Then stay in Leavenworth... there a lot of things to do and see... http://www.leavenworth.org/ ... we have stayed at the Der Ritterhof ( http://www.derritterhof.com/ ) nothing to fancy but you can walk to downtown and the brewer... anyway there are a lot of places to stay... http://www.leavenworth.org/lodging.html

Anyway it works for us and the wife loves the one on one and I still get to look to the mountains and smell the alpine...

Congrats on the 20!!!
