A couple weeks ago when Tom was home, we took a trip to Leavenworth, no not the prison, geesh. It is a small town in the mountains East of Seattle, it takes about 2 hours to get there. What is so great about Leavenworth is what kind of town it is. Back in the 70's when the town was alm0st dying, a bunch of investors bought up the town, and turned it in to a Bavarian village. It is that perfect place for it, snuggled up in the mountains, with a river that runs through it.
Even today, when the have new businesses come in and want to build, it has to be in a Bavarian design. It is funny to see a Subway and McDonald's that look like they should be in Germany
We went though Stevens Pass which was one of the high passes to get there. We had a lot of rain the week before, and the freezing level dropped so there was snow. It was really nice to see
Once we got there, you could see the snow in the mountains and hills. Usually the town is really crowded, but it wasn't the day we went. It was a really nice road trip.
