In eastern Washington, there is a small Bavarian town named Leavenworth.  It is a small village with tons of character.  The town serves German beer and authentic German cuisine.  They have a nutcracker museum, my picture may or may not be inside.  My mom is a huge collector!  The reason we love visiting this town in the summer and winter is that it is centrally located in the state and it’s a great stopping point during a drive or close enough to make a fun day trip.  Here are a few of my favorite things to do and visit while in the town.
