Leavenworth Day Trip, aka Mindy's Christmas Present

After the terrible Christmas gift the I got from Darren last year, this year he made up for it by planning a surprise day trip to Leavenworth without the kids.  He planned everything from the childcare to the sleigh ride.  It was a quick, but wonderful trip!

Leavenworth in the winter is charming.  It feels like you've traveled back in time to simpler place.

One of the highlights of the day was a sleigh ride Darren planned for us to go on.  The horses were beautiful and the scenery was magical.

As part of this little Christmas Gift trip, Darren was less frugal than usual and we purchased several things in town, including an adorable headband that was totally overpriced, some taffy, a caramel apple, and a lb of cured bacon.  Dinner was delicious and the company was delightful.

It was the best Christmas present from my husband ever!
