Our first stop on our trip was a small town called Leavenworth. According to Brandon,
Leavenworth used to be a pretty happening mountain town, but in the 70's they decided to build the new railroad going around the town instead of through it. As a result, the town pretty much died and became a ghost town. Then a few of the locals decided to use their Bavarian heritage to recreate a mini Alps town. Now Leavenworth is a big tourist attraction and the whole town is geared as a little Bavarian town in the the Cascade Mountains. So, we stopped here and stayed at the Obertal Inn. We had good time walking around and we were in town just in time for the annual quilt show! Each little shop had a different quilt displayed in it...but unfortunately we were there on Sunday so many of the shops closed early. We had a good time though in Leavenworth , especially when we first got in town and went to the city park. * See pics above*

In our room watching "woody" on the pink DVD. What a lifesaver. Thanks Papa and Nana

I have been there once in the winter. It's a cool town. I did not know the history though. Pretty good idea those locals had!
