A trip to Leavenworth (WA)

Published by PerriNelson at 10:31 pm under Just For Fun, Washington

Today we loaded up the van and took a trip to Leavenworth. They’re having their tree lighting festival, but we went so that we could have another snow day, and to eat at Visconti’s Italian Restaurant. That’s right, an Italian restaurant in a Bavarian Village.

We drove over Snoqualmie Pass and then headed North over Blewitt Pass. Just past the summit on Blewitt I pulled over to take a few pictures…

After a brief stop, it was back into the van and on to Leavenworth. The parking lots were full of busses and the streets were lined with people. I ended up dropping my wife and my mother off just outside the restaurant and driving outside of town to the Safeway to park. Lucas and I caught a trolley back into town.

Once we got into town we met up with my wife and my mother and wandered around town for a while.

We ate a really nice dinner at Visconti’s and went through a couple of shops before we finally caught the trolley and headed back to the Safeway outside town, stopped at an Espresso stand and drove home.

We had a lot of fun, enjoyed the snow and the food. All in all it was a great day, if a little cold.
