Germany- Stop 1

We had an incredible time on our Germany trip. We sure fit a lot in to the 9 days we spent there with 2 grandparents, 2 toddlers, and 2 parents without ANY luggage for 5 days! With that being said- please refrain from laughing at the second hand clothing we purchased in the German Alps- there were not a lot of pickings and 100 Euros (compliments of KLM) for losing our luggage doesnt go far. So here is Germany through mostly images:

Stop 1: Eibsee Lake Resort with incredible views and activities on the Crystal Clear Lake and Zugitze- the Highest point in the German Alps

We made it to the top of Germany and Austria 

(cheater style on a Gondola)

A true Bavarian man celebrating his 60th Birthday in style!

Nothing like sledding and walking around a glacier in July! 

                                  

For Derek and I there are few things more enjoyable then taking our kids outdoors to explore in nature- even if it is a 4 miles hike in the rain for half the time.

Yes that is a tiara on Audrey's head- it was her 2nd birthday- how could I say "No"?

A traumatic lesson in "catch and release"

Now do you agree- there is nothing more incredible then a morning hike like this?

Well... the Partnach Gorge was a close second- but it was impossible to catch a true image due to water mist... but we tried

Derek and I enjoyed incredible sites hiking through and above the clouds ...

 while Mom and Dad enjoyed relaxing and spending time with the kids.

Next stop- Rothenburg, Fussen, Gueser and Munich (only 1,000+ more photos to sort through)
