Leavenworth

Saturday might not have gone exactly like we planned, but it was still perfect. We had planned on starting the day off with some snowboarding at Steven Pass before venturing into the Bavarian town of Leavenworth, however, we arrived a bit later than expected. The line to get a lift ticket was about an hour wait. I had never seen a ski resort so packed!

Since we had planned to leave early to catch the christmas lighting in Leavenworth, we figured by the time we got to the top of the mountain we would probably only be able to get 2 runs in so we decided to spend the day exploring Leavenworth.

Leavenworth is a quaint Bavarian village near Wenachee, WA. We first heard about the Christmas lighting after our friends Mark and Lauren visited the village during Oktoberfest. All the locals there strongly encouraged them to come back during the holidays! 

With the snow falling all day long, it really was like we were back in Europe.

best beer ever. tastes like German chocolate cake

Love. 

The things I am starting to love the most about living here, is how there are so many things to do/see just a short distance away. This quaint village is about 2.5-3 hours from Tacoma. Within a few hours we can be in Oregon or Canada, in the mountain or at the beach, in the heart of the city or in a quaint little village. We are excited to continue to explore and make the most out of our time here!

Love yall. xo.
