On Christmas Day Tricia and I (Chris) hopped in our hot-rod Cutlass-Sierra for our second anniversary get-away. After last year's disasterous anniversary adventure, this year's could only go uphill from there. And uphill it went! It was our first delightful anniversary, and it will be a tough one to beat.
We drove to Leavenworth, WA, which was inundated in about 4 feet of fresh snow, and it continued to snow another 8 inches or more during most of our time there. It was a winter wonderland, with a charming Bavarian-village imitation that far exceeded my expectations. Although the whole Bavarian theme is just a great tourism gimmick (it's not really a transplanted Bavarian sub-culture), they did it well enough to impress me, and I spent three months living in Bavaria. It was a lot of fun. The shops gave us plenty to do, and Tricia reserved a cute (but fortunately not cute ala "Precious-Moments" flavor) bed and breakfast that was smack in the heart of the Bavarian-downtown area. The B&B was pretty old, and each room was decorated with a quilt-theme. Here are some fun pictures from our time there.
