The Accidental Bavarians

We get a lot of questions about who we are and what we do. Especially when folks see our website or when we ask for information to include on the site or we take pictures of their business. We thought it’d be a good idea to let you know more about us.

Who we’re not:

• We are NOT compensated by the Chamber of Commerce nor connected with it, other than we are members
• We are NOT connected to, nor paid by, the City of Leavenworth
• We are NOT connected to or supported by any retailer or innkeeper organizations in Leavenworth other than advertising revenue
• We are NOT a lodging or reservation service
• We are NOT paid for reviews or endorsements

Who we are:

• Simply put, we love Leavenworth, Washington and get a lot of enjoyment from visiting and blogging about Leavenworth. Accidental Bavarian is a website dedicated to Leavenworth and meant to give first-time and returning visitors information they need to plan a great vacation in Leavenworth.
• We’re Scotte and Renae Meredith and we live, love and work in Spokane, Washington, when we’re not in Leavenworth. Scotte’s day (and sometimes night) job is as a contract programmer and technical project manager for a software development company. My, Renae’s, day (and often night) job is as a theater designer and costume coordinator for the drama department of a local college. Both of us enjoy traveling to Leavenworth and to other cities around the country where our kids and grandchildren live.

We have a lot of fun with our website mascots, Fritzi and Mitzi. Sometimes it’s just fun to put words in the mouths of little bouncing yellow balls.

We’ve also added a Facebook page and a Twitter account. It’s great connecting with people from all over the state, country and the world who want to hear more from and about Leavenworth and Washington State travel.

We’re excited about the launch of the latest version of the website, Accidental Bavarian v4.0, coming in a few days. We’re adding a lot more photographs, a larger page format and room for select ads on each page. We’ll have pop-out reviews and ratings, and new travel related quotes. The reviews will be expanded as we visit Leavenworth and the surrounding area more and more often. Our future plans include mobile versions for use on iPads, iPhones and other smart phones, and community photo albums.

Do you have other questions for us, or for Fritzi and Mitzi? What else would you like to see on the Accidental Bavarian website? We’d love to hear your suggestions and ideas.
