We...
- went on a trip to the German Alps, down in Garmisch.
- stayed at the Edelwiss Lodge & Resort, the perfect lodging for kids
- went with our friends Kim and Derek and their daughter Elin
- brought our babysitter Caitlin (perfect set up with three kids)
- boarded in fabulous snow (Ben and Derek went three times, Kim and I went twice)
- ate great German food
- swam in the pool
- relaxed in the hot tub
- ...Ben and I are thinking that we might be getting too old for snowboarding! As we both came home with stiff shoulders and necks. At least we didn't get banged up too much or lose any teeth. LOL!
When we rolled into Edelwiss on Wednesday evening we were a little worried how the snow conditions would be, as there wasn't much snow on the ground and the snow that was, was crusty and old. But after 8 new inches of snow overnight, the conditions were great! Kim and Derek are the perfect matches for Ben and I. The boy's are at the same level and Kim and I are too. So it makes it nice and easy skiing with them.
Having Caitlin there was perfect. It allowed us to get out worry free and know our kids were in good hands while we boarded. Not to mention have two peaceful dinners and hot tub times! It was great!
It was especially fun boarding with Ben. Last year when we went to the Austrian Apls with Kim and Derek, we took turns with our babies... so We didn't get to board together. Looking forward to our next ski trip!
