WINTER GETAWAY

Every year (meaning this year and last year) *smile* my husband Tim and I have a tradition...we go away before Christmas. To choose where we go the conversation usually goes a little like this “where is it most likely snowing right now?”

Last year the location of choice was a cute little town Leavenworth, Washington where we were greeted with SNOW and lots of it! It was beautiful. The streets were all lit up and Christmas music was playing in the streets. We went for breakfasts at a cute little crepe café and for a sleigh ride at a local farm.

(Obviously. We always have to throw in a little “farm” wherever we go)

We did some exploring and found some BEAUTIFUL spots.

Tim visited the candy store. (He’s a 5 year old in a 26 year old body)

And we visited some of the gift shops. We found some hilarious ornaments and just HAD to show you *grin*. You can’t tell me this isn’t the best ornament you’ve ever seen right?

This year we booked a last minute trip up to beautiful Whistler BC. The thought of a long journey was not appealing as we just moved a couple days before plus a couple of my clients were up there the previous week and said there was lots of snow.

As you know this is the pre-requisite. So we booked it! We picked up a good ol’ ginger bread latte and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. When we arrived in whistler however we were greeted with the view of the pavement. That’s right….. NO SNOW. We had a little pitty party for about 1 min but we didn’t let this ruin the mood. We cranked Mariah Carey Christmas and a little Michael Buble and sat in front of the fire for the last 3 days.

Ahhhh…. So good.

Do you have any favourite places to visit during the holiday season?
