Leavenworth is this cheesy little Bavarian themed town about 2.5 hours from Seattle. It's nestled right up against the mountains and is supposedly lots of fun to visit during Oktoberfest or in December when they have Christmas markets. It reminded us very much of Solvang, except German-themed instead of Dutch-themed. We spent a few hours walking around town, checking out the nutcracker shop and doing some wine tasting and had a nice afternoon. We also go out fill of beer and sausage - a very fine German meal! Truthfully though, we were disappointed in the beer selection; the beer on tap were ones you could easily find at the supermarket.
The next morning we woke up bright and early and headed over to Mission Ridge ski area to test out our snowshoes! We bought these babies a while ago, but haven't had a chance to try them out. The snow was started to melt away but there was lots of it so the sun didn't do as much damage as it probably wanted to. We had a great time stomping around in the snow and definitely plan on doing it again next season. I think I may have found my new winter sport!
