Christmas Lights in Leavenworth

One of the last "hurrahs" for this trip to Washington was a day trip up to Leavenworth (the German themed town V & I visited earlier this year). After a light breakfast, Vince and I hit the road, and his parents met us in Leavenworth later that afternoon. The plan was to see the town in the winter, try to stay warm (it was colder there than it was on the same day in Alaska!), visit some of the shops, and watch the official Christmas Lighting Ceremony :)


View from the truck driving into town- very pretty


This is BEFORE it got busy!


Engelwein at Baroness Cellars was a great way to warm up!
Here's our crew enjoying a bit of the hot German wine


No trip to Leavenworth is complete without a stop inside
the original Cheesemonger store… where I found a new goodie:
Hawt Stuff Buffalo Cheddar; my brain has been thinking of ways
to use it ever since hehe :p


The Hat Shop was fun! Tons of fun winter hats in there :)


The crowd gathering for the start of the ceremony...


And a final picture of the town. Great way to cap off a lovely visit :)
