Alpine Getaway


This past weekend, I jaunted off to the Bavarian Alps for a little R&R. Ok, not really, but close enough. I headed over the Cascade Mountains into the Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA with my mum and four of her co-workers.


We jetted out of town on Friday morning and returned Sunday afternoon. It was a perfect weekend of relaxation, food, wine, laughter, sparse internet access, beautiful scenery, snow, and freshly pressed apple cider (especially after midterms last week!). Take a look:

View from the cabin where we stayed - a few miles out of town, then 5 miles up a steep canyon. 


Upon arrival to the cabin, we discovered there was no wine key to be found. So we improvised. With a screwdriver.

BRATWURST - Enough said


And because of the aforementioned sparse internet, I didn't get a chance to announce the winner of my giveaway (except on Twitter last night). The winner is Sarah! Congratulations! I'll have it in the mail sometime this week. Enjoy!

Oh I love Leavenworth so much. Even when we actually went to Bavaria, our first comment was "Wow, they did a really good job with Leavenworth!" Ha!
