I surprised Scott with a quickie weekend getaway to the lovely town of Leavenworth this past weekend as an anniversary present. For those who haven't been before, Leavenworth is about a 2.5 hour drive from Seattle and is this little town that's Bavaria themed. It's similar to Solvang in kitschy-ness except it's smaller and all about the Alps, Beer and Brats.
We've only passed through the town years ago so wasn't sure what to expect but I'm happy to report we had a good time! The drive wasn't terrible and we discovered some parts of that area that we'd want to explore more. In winter, they have a whole network of cross country ski trails, a sledding hill for kids and lots of Christmas celebrations and night markets. In the summer, you can lazy down the river that meanders along the town, go wine tasting or go cherry picking in nearby Wenatchee. So much to do!
Evie and Nora loved it too. They weren't too interested in shopping at the tourist trap stores in town, but we had a lot of fun "hiking" in the park nearby and throwing rocks in the river.
