Last Minute Getaway

We decided to take a last minute trip up to Garmisch, Germany to Edelweiss Lodge and Resort. We drove up on Saturday and will drive back on Monday. I do not have any scheduled blogs to post, and I may not be available to post during our trip.

We drove on Saturday and it was a fairly smooth drive. It rained a little towards the end of the drive, but through Italy and Austria the weather was nice. The girls did very well. They didn't sleep much on the drive, but they also didn't fuss. That is always nice. When we arrived to the resort, both girls were ready to play. We brought them to the Veteran's Day children festivities. They had all kinds of different bouncy castles, a large race track for motorized cars, people making caramel apples, books for the kids, stuffed animals and other things for infants, face painting, and more. It was the perfect amount of fun for A, and even E got some play time. After we spent a couple of hours doing that, we went and had dinner. Since neither of the girls had a full nap that day, they were ready to sleep. We skipped the fireworks and swimming like we had planned and hit the bed early.

Today is a free day. We thought about taking a tour, but I think we will just lay back at the resorts and do more kid things and walk around to see the local sights.

I hope everyone has a happy and safe Veteran's Day weekend. Be sure to thank a Veteran for their service, whether it is past or present.

Germany: Berlin 1

After we spent a couple of days in Cologne, we headed out to Berlin. We took the train, and the ride was about 4.5 hours. Baby A loves the trains and did very well. She found out that she does not like small spaces, which made diaper changing hard on the train, but not unbearable.

The first night there we did what became a tradition for the whole trip. We went and checked in at our hotel, set up our hotel room, and grabbed a bite to eat. Later that night we went on our first evening, nightly walk to take some pictures. We spent four days in Berlin, and we cram packed them with tours, museums, and other sightseeing adventures. Baby A did very well, as always.

While we were in Berlin, Mr. Man and I both got food poisoning. We think it was from some turkey we ate one night with dinner, but it past within 12 hours. Lucky us.

Here are some pictures of the first night there.
