On May 25Th we left for Garmish Germany. Dan had the US Army MPEP conference, and the kids were on half term break, so we all went along. This was our third stay in the military resort the Edelweiss. It is a fantastic hotel, and would highly recommend it to anyone!! The first half of the week the kids and I spent our days at the pool, while Dan was involved in the conference. We did manage to go to the Linderhof Palace to see the beautiful gardens one evening after Dan was done with work. We had toured the Palace when we were there in the winter, but it was great to see how the gardens looked without snow!!
May 29Th we took a driving tour of Austria, and Switzerland. BEAUTIFUL!!! I could not get over how clean Switzerlandwas. We had a picnic in St Moritz and just enjoyed the views. On the way back that evening we of course had to make another stop off at the Swarovski Crystal factory for a bit of shopping. (Thanks Dan!!)
On the 30Th, we took the kids to Dachau concentration camp. Dan had been before, so he basically was our tour guide. Lane had read "The Boy in Stripped Pajamas" and we felt that it would be good for him to see how life was at the concentration camp. It was quite a sad yet moving experience. Something that I really did not want to see, yet was glad that I did. After Dachau we went on more of a drive around Germany and ended up in Nuremberg. What a treat. It was a beautiful town that had the Nuremberg fortress, old churches and a market going on as well. This was probably or last big trip before the move, so quite bittersweet!
