A Snowy Weekend in Leavenworth, Lake Chelan and Wenatchee, Washington - Winter Travel Vlog
Join us on a winter weekend getaway to Central Washington! We drive 2 hours east of Seattle to the Bavarian town of Leavenworth to enjoy Christmas lights and German food.

You two compliment each other well, and it's great to see a couple enjoying life together.
I've been blessed to live in this area for almost twenty years. It is a wonderland all four seasons. I hope you enjoyed your visit. Come back and see us again. We pride ourselves on being a place where Seattle people can come and relax.

Im planing a trip there, so watching video tours. This showed the area the best I'v seen. Beautiful, well done! But being clearer on where you stay showing room and price would be nice, and restaurants name and prices.How much was the wine? The Pie? And show a piece, and was it good?That's info needed if other's want to travel there.

We stayed in an Airbnb slightly out of town, but there are lots of cute themed lodges closer to town.
Enjoyed watching your video! We've been interested in seeing more of this area.
You guys have such a cute calming energy; I loved watching your video.

Andreas Keller is the spot to get the best schnitzel and spaetzle! Christmas Eve 2014, someone actually paid for my wife and I entire meal. We never knew who, but we did appreciate it.. So many great memories made there. Hope to go this winter, so our daughter can experience Leavenworth.

Had to comment here. My wife and I are also PNW/Seattle based and are both Geminis! She is also from Eastern Europe as well. We are envious of all your travels and laughed at some of our similar videos 😎 We love your channels so far and just subbed. I know that I (Michael) am always looking for tech reviews especially for my GoPro8, Sony ZV1, and accessories. We are looking at a drone and just want to improve our game as we really aren't the best with photography and videography knowledge but we love it.

Great to hear from you, Michael! We found your channel earlier when you posted the Seattle snow video. It's great to see other KZreadrs covering Seattle -- there doesn't seem to be very many of us. But keep up the great content and perhaps we'll run into each other down the road!
how are you gonna go when they take down all the christmas lights thats literally the best part...

As a guy living in Poland Leavenworth looks to me a lot like a small European city near Alps. Verry different vibe than any other North American city

Possibly the most beautiful city in the state of Washington ? Aside from gig harbor?
Love the Video! How did you guys make it back after the avalanche :) I don't know if to get a car rental or not

We got lucky and made it through the pass just after it opened. We definitely recommend renting a car if you visit Seattle. The nature is so much better than the city.
Where is this Airbnb? I'm planning to go and the cabin looks nice!
