Leavenworth.....Snow CHRISTMAS and so Bavarian!



A mini family getaway is always a good thing! Especially when you have had sick kids and weeks of being house bound.
Lets get out of here! Pack the bags, dig out the snow gear and we're off on a Rule Family road trip to the quaint alpine village of Leavenworth.



Located 3hrs drive from Seattle, up high in the Cascade Mts. Is a gorgeous little town where it feels like its Christmas all year, liederhoussen are preferred and the sound of Oom Papa music is heard everywhere you go! Dave was thrilled to have some "Swine hocks" and some yummy Germain Beer.



Sure its a little on the kitch side and a total tourist trap, but gosh its fun! You could really convince yourself that you are somewhere high in the Alps or even better, that its still Christmas!



We stayed right in town at our timeshare. The whole place was covered in snow which made for great tobogganing!



It was a wonderful relaxing time with no agenda. Just to play in the snow, sleep in, read and play with the kids...ahh! Can't wait to do this again!
