Start the day with a full breakfast buffet at the Bavarian Lodge and then step out the doors into the heart of Christmastown! To help orient ourselves, we have a great walking tour set up to get a bit of the history and layout of Leavenworth (and maybe a few tasty treats!). The walking tour will last approximately one hour including all of the planned stops; at the end, we will have a better understanding of the magical place that is Leavenworth. We will then step into the Nutcracker Museum to see the over 9,000 nutcrackers that have been collected from over 50 countries. After lunch, the group will have free time to explore the downtown area and do some holiday shopping if the mood strikes. We will regroup at the hotel and head out to dinner for some delicious food and debrief the best spots in Christmastown. (B, L, D)

After our breakfast buffet at the hotel, guests will have a choice of activities; either spend the morning in Leavenworth to extend your explorations (or holiday shopping!) on your own, or hop aboard the bus to Cashmere to visit the Applets & Cotlets factory followed by the Wenatchee Valley Museum. The whole group will come together in the early afternoon for a quick trip out to the Lake Wenatchee area for a festive horse-drawn open sleigh ride! The bells jinggling in the winter landscape are sure to capture the hearts of all! An early evening cider tasting will warm our hearts and invigorate our appetites for dinner in Leavenworth. We will enjoy a hearty dinner our last night in town before a great night's rest. (B, D)

Following our full buffet breakfast we will checkout and depart Leavenworth. On our way back to Oregon, we will make a stop at Snoqualmie Falls to capture some beautiful winter views and stretch our legs before heading continuing on our way to lunch. In the afternoon, we will make our way to our designated drop-off locations in Tualatin, Woodburn, and Salem. (B, L)
