Made a lovely little trip through the Cascade Mountains here in Washington, figured I'd share my photos with the Steemit family!
Leavenworth Christmas Festival
Things were looking pretty grim on our way there, luckily the weather gods changed their minds and blessed us for the rest of the weekend!
Ol' Big Foot letting us know that we were on the right path! Pretty cool dude, I don't know why everyone is always trying to hunt him down...
One of the many beautiful lakes we drove past on our way there...
Deception Falls. Nothing more impressive than the relentless force of Mother Nature!
Skykomish River.
Let it snow, let it snow...
Finally made it: Leavenworth!
Absolutely love how the entire village has this Austrian theme. As a European guy, it made me feel at home right away...
And to complete the Austrian experience, you gotta have some wiener schnitzels!
As night started to fall, Christmas lights started popping up everywhere...
Bavarian Hotel, would love to see their power bill, ha!
Needless to say, this trip was breathtaking and I'd recommend everyone in the area to at least visit it once! It's perfect for whoever needs to escape the stressful city life and find a little Christmas magic.
