Washington State - the we're too cool for school skiers contemplating their runs for the day.

 

Many years ago my wife and I drove to Seattle and took a chartered train to Leavenworth for their annual Christmas lighting celebration there was a lot of celebrating on that train.

Would really like to do that again, maybe a little less celebrating on the train though!
