This weekend we headed to Garmisch, its a cute little resort town. Its at the base of the Alps with some of the prettiest mountains to be seen. We went for a few days "away" and to take some family pictures. It was supposed to be a rainy cold weekend, but it, luckily for us, turned out to be partly sunny and cloudy. It rained in the afternoons but even that wasnt all the time.
The drive was three hours long. And I don't think it is possible to do it shorter, Jim averaged about 100 mph's most of the way. Now we were on the autobahn, but the world flew by! We also got lost because the gps wanted to take us on a unmarked, unpaved road.. but we were close, in the right valley, just not a real street.
The hotel itself is a nice retreat to go to. It was right in the heart of things and it had three places to eat. It had a pool, spa, and hot tub and a parking lot in the basement (which was surprisingly nice!) The room was average american size and style. It was a military hotel so everyone spoke english (a nice perk) and everyone was just trying to get their time away from work the same way.
We had a lovely time, even managed to make it out into the mountains to take family pictures. We got a few great shots and you will be seeing them on our christmas cards this year. The ones we didnt choose you can see on our picasa web album (I will post the link below) The scenery was amazing, the mountains is something Jim and I both love so it was easy to just sit back and enjoy.
The girls were typical, we wanted to bind and gag them within minutes of leaving the house, but we worked our way through and they returned to the house alive. :0)
We have plans for the "next" trip, when that will be, we dont know yet... but its worth it for sure.
So check out our pictures!
