Garmisch - October 2010

We went to Garmisch in December of 2007 when our kids were really little, and we didn't make it out to the bridge for this great view because we weren't sure our kids would cooperate. It also would have involved climbing around fences and barriers because the bridge was officially closed due to the snow. We were excited to go back 3 years later in October to see the castle, beautiful fall leaves and the view from the bridge, and then it snowed. The bridge was once again "closed," but we made our way around the fences and barriers anyway, so that we could see the best view of Neuschwanstein castle.




The bridge - our kids thought it was a little scary. It's not a big bridge, and it's definitely way up high.
Hohenschwangau Castle and a beautiful Bavarian view!

We took this picture outside our hotel room at the Army's Edelweiss Lodge - we loved staying there. There was a fun pool for the kids, and it was just nice to be in an American style hotel that serves American food. Allen was there for a dental conference, so it was a great time for a vacation.

Powdered donut lipstick! (Breakfast in our hotel room.)


This cute little snowman was just sitting on the trail on the hike down from Neuschwanstein castle, so the kids wanted a picture with it. We left it on the trail for the next tourists to enjoy.
