Ah, the Sights and Sounds of Christmas

On Saturday, we traveled a short 5 hours to visit a winter wonderland--Leavenworth, WA.  This little Bavarian village is nestled in the valley of the Cascade Mountains of the Wenatchee National Forest (check out the view behind us!).

Every year they decorate with lights to the hilt on all the buildings and trees for a beautiful lighting ceremony, complete with food, music...

 Tubas,

Stores filled with Christmas items...this is a view taken from the 2nd floor of the store looking down...

The magi were also there...

As we watched the explosion of lights!

This will be a "keeper" of a new Lowe tradition!
