Happy New Year’s Day! I’m so excited to kick off 2024!This year on NYE we traded a wedding for a relaxing spa vacation in Leavenworth, WA to celebrate 1 year of marriage and reset for the New Year! I can’t wait to share more about the hotel we splurged on
—The Post Hotel — and what we did in town! It was a busy weekend in Leavenworth over NYE so we were glad to have this hotel as a relaxing respite from all of the crowds. One of our bartenders told us they haven’t seen crowds like this over NYE before! 😳 More to come soon about our trip and what we loved in Leavenworth, but until then I hope you had a wonderful NYE! 🥂 Cheers to the first day of 2024!
