Leavenworth 2012

"Leavenworth, WA"
June 2012

Leavenworth is a Bavarian village up in the mountains (Alps) of Washington.  A trip that I have wanted to take all these years of living in Washington.  Finally I made it.  Mom, Karin and I, had a girls weekend trip.  And it just happened to be when they were having the "International Folk Dance Festival".  Beautiful flowers on balconies and hanging baskets everywhere.  German food available, which we did not try, I guess we are to Americanized.  All kinds of little shops.  They are known for their Nutcracker store.  I thought mom would like to see all these shops, but not so.  She enjoyed watching all the different international dances.  That was the high-light of the trip, for all of us.  I do wish I had taken more pictures of mountains and the lush green landscape.  The weather was overcast and rain, with occassional rays of sunlight.  The rain (for Sonja) was enjoyable, it didn't dampen our spirits.

Leavenworth is nestled in a mountain valley.
