Switzerland Continued

Saturday: We drove over the mountains to Lucern to have dinner with Wife's aunt, uncle, and two cousins. Three of them will be visiting the states in August. Ate too much. Home late. Bed late.

Sunday: Drove to Bern to visit Wife's grandmother. Most of the time, Blondie and I decorated her Strawberry Shortcake sticker book. Nice visit.

Monday: Took a scenic drive in the morning. In the afternoon, we played mini golf in Oberhofen. It was a little bit warm but a lot of fun. On each hole, Blondie got in the way (especially Grosspapi's way) and provided another obstacle for us all. Grosspapi won in a three hole sudden death playoff with Wife. He scored a 4 on three holes. How? I finished three shots shy of qualifying for first place tie.

Tuesday: Took the boat across Lake Thun to Interlaken. Nearly a two hour boat ride full of scenic views. Rode the train up to Schynige Platte (2000m). Clean air, amazing views, and a vast alpine garden. Blondie had fun going down the sidewinder slide with us.

Wednesday: Overcast today, so we have postponed our planned mountain drive until a clear day. Wife and I walked with Blondie down to the post office and mailed post cards.

  1. If PMM gets a postcard and I don't, I'm gonna be ticked!

    This blog is going to be a great travel journal for Blondie to read someday.

  2. How very cool. That's all I can think to say....how very, very cool.

    Does my trip to Target and Famous Footwear (buy one get one half off sale) count? *sigh* probably not.

  3. Yes, it has been a cool trip... literally... not much summer weather around here, very mild and nice. Do not miss SoCal heat right now.
