A week in Bavaria



This past week Luke had a work conference at Edelweiss Resort, which is an Army ski resort in a little Bavarian village called Garmish. Anyways, Annsley and I decided to tag along and after a 5 hour drive and a mini version of The Clampits go on Vacation we pulled into a charming little village at the base of the German Alps covered in snow. What followed was a week of slow days filled with reading, relaxing, sight seeing, spending time at the pool and enjoying the quietness of falling snow, at least for Annsley and I, Luke's days were spent at the conference but even that was a nice change of pace from his regular day to day.



These are the beautiful German Alps, being among them reminded us of Alaska and our AMAZING 4 years there.





In the Lodge lobby they had some rustic rocking chairs next to a huge stone fire place and we found one "just right" for Annsley. She felt like such a big girl sitting in it.







One day Annsley and I took a tour of Ludwig II's Linderhof Palace and Oberammeagau, the village where the Passion Play of Christ is performed every 10 years. We had a great time, unfortunately you are not allowed to take pictures of the inside of the palace and it being winter, all of the outside statues and fountains were covered for protection. So, while it was beautiful, a trip during the summer months is in order so the full effect can be taken in.

















Annsley also experienced her first trip to the pool.


At first she wasn't so sure, but once in her little belly boat, she loved it!
