A (not-so) plain weekend in Plain






The annual "ski weekend" was held in a beautiful house in Plain, WA, about 20 miles north of Leavenworth. Thanks to Sarah who organized this year's gathering. Unlike previous years, skiing was not a part of the equation due to a lack of recent snow as well as warm temps. Hats off to Mitch, however, who gave it the old college try by driving to Stevens Pass on Saturday only to turn back upon seeing raindrops on his windshield. While Mitch was experiencing rain and clouds near Stevens, the weather was sunny and beautiful in Plain. 
A big thanks to Robert who organized the annual fondue feast on Friday night as well as Sarah who spearheaded the soup, stuffed cabbages, and chocolate cake night on Saturday night. The hot tub championship medals were awarded to Alex and Erik, who reportedly spent up to three hours soaking it up while the crew was painting Plain red on Saturday afternoon. The first night - Friday - was the typical night of overindulgence: food, drink, other. Saturday night was a bit more chill. Only three managed to make it through the entire screening of the Big Lebowski which ended before 11pm. The rest were victims of the previous night's overindulgence. A longing for all things Bavarian took a few of us on Sunday to Leavenworth where we couldn't resist a bit of Schnitzel, red cabbage and Bier.
