My friend Sarica and I escaped to the east side of the mountains for a short getaway to Leavenworth. We ventured to neighboring Plain for a morning sleigh ride and brunch at a cute family operated lodge (but not before admiring the amazing view of the valley).
When your mode of transportation is a horse-drawn sleigh and your date is wearing a penguin knit hat, it is a little difficult to not love life. And to make things even better, the ride literally took us over the river and through the woods...
During our stay, we also ate some German sausage, walked around the downtown area, drank some hot wine, napped in front of the fireplace and Christmas tree and of course baked up some holiday cookies. It was the perfect pre-Christmas celebration!
