At the beginning of January, Crystal, Ruby and I went to Leavenworth for a few nights. We used our Wyndham credits to get a nice place in town. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, fireplace, and a great view!
We spent most of the time relaxing and playing by the fireplace. Ruby loved playing with just a plain white sheet! We would fly it in the air and let it drape over her. She would do that for hours on end!
Ruby also loved the snow. She would ask to go out on the patio so she could watch the snow fall and watch the kids sled. So, we bundled her up and took her out to play in the snow. She had a blast! In the deep snow, she would stand in one of my footsteps and not move until we helped her.
We went out for a nice dinner for my birthday. It was VERY good! I had a half chicken, quite possibly the best chicken I have ever had! Crystal had a prime rib sandwich that was fantastic too! We finished it off with a Nutella and strawberry crepe. Ruby loved that one! Earlier that day, we found a local chocolate shop and got a great sampler! I love Leavenworth!
The trip overall was very fun, but we did have some car trouble coming over the pass. It turns out we blew a head gasket coming over the pass, and our car couldn't make it back over the pass. We made it about 5 miles out of town before it just wouldn't go any further. Luckily we made it to a gas station and the owner was a tow truck driver. 5 hours and, $500 dollars later, we made it home. After much deliberation, we decided to sell our Pontiac to get the Subaru fixed. Thankfully we were able to sell it with out any problems, and that covered most of the repairs.
