A Family Fairy Tale


Once Upon a time a family that loved each other so much had to be separated, after 9months they were reunited and took off to Garmich, Germany for some much deserved family time and relaxation. Also to tour the town and sights.



On Sunday we headed north to Germany, after 5 hours we arrived at the Edelwiess Resort and Lodge. We immediatly headed for the pool, and signed up for the Neuschwanstein Castle Tour and horse and carriage ride, mostly we just wanted to spend time together talking and getting to know each other again, and most importantly JACOB TIME.




Jacob time paid off because boy did he flourish. The first night Josh was home, he went into his room to check on him, he had been fussing for awhile. Jacob was sitting up in his crib something he couldnt do before dad came home. While in Germany he also learned to get himslef on to his knees and rock back and forth, Crawling is just days away im sure.




Over the next few days we relaxed in the pool and visited the castle, known to us AMERICANS as Cinderellas castle. it is the same one pictured in the beginning of all disney movies, or at least a replica. we enjoyed good German food and a nice tour of the surrounding towns. Jacob entertained himself on the bus ride by playing with Daddy's sunglasses.




On the second day we walked the town of Garmich and ate at the PIZZA HUT, Yes an American Pizza Hut. The we took the Hrose and Carriage Ride around that evening. Here Josh got to experience the baby bjorn carrier, he wore it well! Jacob ended up falling asleep on Josh's chest for most of the ride. Boy did Dad enjoy that:)




Jacob did amazing, he didnt fuss at all until we were about 30 minutes from home.


Our trip was amazing but it's nice to be home, for the rest of Dad's time home we will putter around the house and Josh will get to see what we do day to day, Tomorrow we head to playgroup.




Love and Prayers to all- Enjoy the Photos!
