Our first trip of 2016 was to Leavenworth, Washington, to see the little Bavarian town in the snow and Christmas lights! We stopped in Leavenworth for a day back in the spring when we drove out here from Ohio and I had been wanting to go back--especially when I found out they set up a Christmas …

The Beauty of Chihuly
We enjoyed a beautiful, atypical summer in Seattle and spent most of our time in the great outdoors soaking in the perfect weather, from riding boats on Lake Union to attending festivals to touring local wineries and more.
