Seattle
The mountains of Washington were quite beautiful....
A shot of the space needle.
A few shots of our view from the space needle looking over the city.
At the original Starbucks...
I was so excited to attend an exhibit showcasing the art of Dale Chihuly...his beautiful blown-glass creations are just spectacular, and even better in person.
Gorgeous color!
Overall, I had such fun in Seattle!
Solvang
Have you ever been to the charming town of Solvang? I was enamored with the sweet, quaint architecture...reminiscent of a time long ago.
We visited a darling bakery
quite a few vintage shops (of course)
and took in the sights.
Mission Inn
lots of trees with a smattering of snow....
Charming little structures amidst nature in all her glory.

Mission Inn
The Mission Inn Festival of Lights is in almost its twenty-fifth year and was voted by USA Today as #1 in the nation as a readers' favorite must-see attraction (for holiday/lighting attractions). We try to go every year.
Beautiful lights. Over 4 million....you must go to appreciate it fully!
Boarding a magical horse-driven carriage ride...my daughters love this. :)
A few weeks ago, during the first week of January, as I bade farewell to all of the Christmas décor, I treated myself to a sweet wintertime tea. I can't bring the charm of the snow-capped mountains home with me to southern California, but I can certainly reminisce.
A simple tea in winter white,
a cozy throw to snuggle under
as I peruse the pages of a new cookbook I found at that cute little bakery in Solvang.
How is your winter?
Until next we meet---
