Our Trip to Leavenworth

This was such an amazing 2 days! For his 30th Birthday, Mike wanted to spend a night in the small little Bavarian Town of Leavenworth up in the mountains of north central Washington. Peggy and Alan were wonderful to take Vienna and Lincoln for us so our 3rd wheel was Everett and he was a doll. It still would have been much easier without him but he slept well and drew tons of attention by smiling and waving at everyone. It was so cute to watch him.
Our hotel was absolutely amazing and the weather was all foggy and perfect for the season. We really had nothing we were looking for in particular, we just needed a Dad and Mom break. 
 This cute little guy was so good. This is upstairs in the big breakfast room (which was SO delicious). This is also where our Alp horn was played.
 Our hotel lobby had a gorgeous tree that went through both floors. It was real too.
 This was our fun Bavarian bed.
 Our bathtub was huge and you could see the whole room, even the fireplace.
 Our fire was so cozy and was so nice to fall asleep to.
 This town is so quaint and the lights on all the trees and hotels was just gorgeous.

 We had an amazing time window shopping, eating out, and most of all relaxing. Awww!
 Every evening our hotel has an hour and a half of caroling with cider. It was So much fun! We were probably the only ones under 65 years of age, but it was great! The old people loved us!
 This is where we sat to carol and the piano was right behind us.
Here was the Alp horn man. Its the same man who has been doing it for over 40 years. He was SO cute and literally stood on the very edge of the balcony railing, over the roof tops, up into the mountains he played a few songs. It was so incredible, and look at the misty clouds. It was spectacular! 
Thanks Mike for wanting to go on a little getaway.
