Ed and I decided to do a quick overnight trip to Leavenworth, Washington's 'Bavarian Village' which is great in summer, but absolutely magical at Christmastime. We went down to celebrate my birthday and pick up some extra Christmas ornaments at Kris Kringl, a Christmas collectibles store but got way more than we bargained for. … [Read more...]
