We are having a great Spring Break!
Now, when many of you think Spring Break, you may think of sand, sun, bikini's....not us. We packed our parkas, hats, and gloves and made a run for the mountains of Garmsich, Germany - COLD and SNOWY but SNUGGLY!
Although we have had a few coughs, mild fevers, runny noses - our true friend Triaminic Flu relieved those symptoms - for 8 hours anyway.
We have enjoyed taking a horse and carriage ride around this cozy, snowy, beautiful town of Garmisch; taking a winding mountain road to Wattens, Austria the home of Swarovski Crystal (Jim took the boys out to play and I shopped and shopped and shopped - you getting the picture here?); a trip to Ettal to visit the Monastery and Basilica (we purchased beer made by the Monk's and wood carvings at a local shop); then on to Neuschwanstein Castle (sometimes referred to as "The Disney Castle") where we stood patiently (cough, cough) in line (inticed by ice cream) for 45minutes for a horse and carriage ride to the top of the mountain - it was NOT light hiking to the top as the brochure suggested! We wondered around at the top enjoying the view and some gluevine; we finally got some sledding in while Patrick took 6 hours of skiing lessons...go Patrick!
While we are 3/5ths still sick,
the day was beautiful, snowy, and P-E-R-F-E-C-T!

I LOVE Garmisch and Germany! My brother loves it too and has had his third tour in the Army there. He is outside of Frankfurt but used to live in Augsburg. We love to visit (or at least before I adopted two more times)
Love the pics!
