The treacherous trip to Leavenworth, WA started the day after Christmas. A college friend, Carl was marrying the love of his life so of course I had to be there to witness it all! It snowed about 8 or 9 inches the first night we were there. The plants and trees are ready for this kind of snow. We drove through an orchard and there wasn't a single branch or twig on the ground...you do that here and you see more orchard on the ground than you do on the remaining trees!
I've flipped this image but apparently it didn't stick when I went to put it on my blog. This is taken in the Leavenworth town square. It took a few tries to take the pictures because snowflakes kept getting in the way...they were HUGE! Some were as big as a golf ball!
A few of us Patton folks made it to the wedding. I met
Sipprell's husband...who we have all thought was a figment of her imagination until now!
Sia looked beautiful and Carl looked nervous but then was able to relax and have a great time once the ceremony was over!
There is a city ordinance in Leavenworth that everything has to look a certain way...so even my precious Starbucks (which we went to EVERYDAY we were there!) was
Bavarian-ed. The girl at the front desk was wearing a traditional Bavarian dress. It was all very festive.
When we first got into town this is what we saw. Lots of snow coming down and a beautifully lit downtown area. You can't see it in this picture but off to the left there are about 40-50 kids sledding down this little hill. No wonder it was named America's Christmas Town a few years back!

do you know how many times I turned my head/computer to figure out the picture of you and the cut out? crazy! I love, love the picture of the red berries on the tree.
