Our big event with the
Issaquah Mom's Group this week was getting to tour the
Boehm's Chocolate Factory, which has been an establishment in
Issaquah since 1942. Sadly after living in
Issaquah over six years, this was my first trip, but I know it will not be our last. Kevin remembered making stops there as a child on his family trips from Quincy to
Bothell to visit his grandparents and based on their preservation philosophy, I doubt it has changed much since then.
It was a little challenging with a whole lot of 2 year
olds who were expected not to touch anything, but I was very pleased with how well Clara did. At first I wasn't sure if I would get her to keep the cute paper hat on her head, but since all of the kids and adults wore them too, she seemed to agree to wearing hers and then eventually forgot it was even there.
The whole factory and the authentic Swiss chalet above that was the living quarters of Julius
Boehm smelled AMAZING to tour, therefore we were all very happy when given the opportunity to sample the delicious chocolate!
We came home happy girls from our little outing!
