A Swiss Adventure

We just returned from an amazing trip to Switzerland. We began the trip in the Capital, Bern. Although it was a rainy, snowy night we explored the city and had a nice Swiss dinner. We also spent some time there in the morning and got a good look at the city in the daylight. We then headed south for Zermatt. The drive to Zermatt was stunning; we wound through the Swiss Alps and enjoyed the views on the way. Zermatt is an auto free village so you have to park at the train station in the village before and ride in. Zermatt is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been. It is nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains. We stayed 3 nights and had a great time walking around and had 2 great days of skiing. We left Zermatt on Saturday and headed for Lucerne. On the way we had to take the car onto a train to get through the mountains, which was pretty neat. We arrived in Lucerne and had an evening of sight seeing and a Swiss fondue dinner. All in all it was a great trip filled with amazing sights.

Next Stop...Switzerland

We are leaving for Switzerland this morning for a 5-day adventure! We are driving down and stopping in the capitol, Bern for a night and then heading to Zermatt for skiing and then stopping in Luzern on the way back. We are excited to get out of Attendron for a few days and explore another country. Cooper has had a haircut and a bath and is ready for his Swiss debut. Full report and photos to follow!

Back to the Blog...

We had an exciting and busy holiday season and have been very neglectful of the blog as of late. We returned to Germany on January 3rd after 6 weeks in the US (for me) and about 4 weeks for Jeff. We spent the entire time home visiting with family and friends and going to all the places that we missed. We started our visit home with Thanksgiving with the Weber’s and then reunited with many of our friends at Nicki & Keith’s wedding. We were so glad to be home to celebrate with them! Christmas was also filled with lots of family visiting and holiday parties. We ate a ton and were happily reminded of all the food options in the US that we don’t have in Germany. And we did our share to stimulate the economy in the retail sector as well. But all good things do come to an end and we are back in Germany and getting readjusted to our life here. We are gearing up for a ski trip next week to Zermatt, Switzerland and have gone to a smaller resort here in Germany 2 times to warm up. We are back to the gym and were warmly welcomed by everyone who thought we were on “vacation” for 6 weeks. It has been very cold and snowy since our return, but the sun has come out almost everyday, which makes it a little better. With winter in full effect, we are very much looking forward to spring!
