It was Memorial Day weekend and we had NO plans! So on Sunday morning, we decided to take a 2 hour drive to Leavenworth - Washington's "Bavarian Getaway." We had a great time exploring this cute town and ate and ate and ate! We arrived around lunch time, so we yelped it to Munchen Haus, known for their brats - yum! Kids didn't like their turkey dog much, so Pops got them a JUMBO popcorn!
We browsed a variety of stores - toys, Christmas decorations and even one dedicated to nutcrackers! Pops and I hung out at a brewery while the grandparents took the kids to a park - where they made new friends and even saw a deer!
We then looped back to the center pavilion where they had live musicians and a big hill for the kids to roll down. Before leaving, we had to get some ice cream and pastries from the Danish bakery. Those danishes and kringles were ah-maze-ing, but I'm not convinced there is anything worth a 2 hour drive. We're glad we went, but will definitely stay away during their peak Christmas tourist season - can't imagine the crowds!
