Over the weekend we stayed at the resort and enjoyed the scenery that was all around. It was beautiful. It was also FREEZING cold out!! Because it was SO cold, it really limited what we could do. We had so many plans and I'd say they all fell through. Oh well. Because of the cold, we didn't get many pictures. I didn't want to keep my hands uncovered, so we took a few and called it good. We mostly took pictures before we left each day.
We got there Thursday afternoon and let the kids run around the ginormous hotel. I taught Xander how to jump on hotel beds, ha! Although that wasn't a great idea because when we got home, he thought he could jump on our bed...not good.
checking out the location and things to do
Friday morning we left the hotel around 11 to walk around the village of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and find a nice trail. As we left the village to head to a trail, it was cold! My legs were burning, later found out they were chapped, so if I was freezing, then the kids must be too.
handsome little man...i joked this day (Friday) that he was attending a child conference, ha!
this is how the kids rode 95% of the time, we only stayed out for 3 hours because it was a cold, cold! Only 14 degrees. Brrr!!!
Sterling in the process of getting ready. This girl does NOT know how to sit still for anything. It takes forever getting her ready as it's a constant battle
Xander was a pretty happy kid this weekend. I told him to say pickle, and he cracked up every time. Love!
ready to leave
done sitting still
so big!
this boy sure knows how to put a smile on my face and warms my heart! Love him!
Saturday morning we woke up and could see the mountains. We switched our plans of going to Munich for the day and stayed at the resort to go out for a scenic walk. I'm glad we did, this was my favorite day! It was still cold, only 14 degrees again, but we were out for 6 hours! The sun was shining this day and made it feel a little warmer. And, we dressed the kids in 2 layers of pants, so i felt better about staying out and enjoying the day
we wanted to walk to this beautiful mountain
Xander was twerping out in the stroller so Nick put him on his shoulders. Xander loved it and stayed like that for over an hour
taking it all in
they had skiing competitions going on so we watched from a distance. Xander loved the big yellow balloon, repeating it over and over and over
this little midgey decided she was tired Sunday morning and didn't want to get up to go home.
Our drive home was rough. The roads were terrible. We ran out of washer fluid about 45 minutes after leaving the resort. We stopped at the first gas station to pick up some fluid and everyone else was doing the same thing! That gas station was packed! 1 liter of fluid was 5 Euro, which is about 7 dollars. The 5 gallon was 22 Euro. Can you say overpriced! But we needed it and I bought 1 liter and used it sparingly. It took 2 hours to go 70 miles. It goes on and on. We finally made it home after 6 hours. The drive was beautiful though! I told Nick that even though all of our plans were ruined by the weather, the drive was worth it all. On Friday I joked that this tripped felt like our Paris trip. Nothing going as planned or hoped for. I guess we just pick the wrong times to go on trips?
And there you have it my friends, our little vacation. And now on to planning our move.
Have a great day!
