2 Weeks in October (part 1)

Well, we went on a trip. Jack had a conference in Germany and my friend Jessica had just moved to Switzerland, and Jack thought it was a great time for us to go. So we went. Why didn't we tell anyone that we were going? Well, mostly because we are just weird that way. But also because at first I was worried that something might happen to prevent us from going. Then we thought it would be fun to surprise our families by sending them postcards from Switzerland the first day we were there. But the night before I left I realized I didn't have anyone's address anymore since our hard drive crashed a few months back. So that was out. So really there was no good reason for us not to tell people about the trip. See, we are just weird that way.
Anyway Jack went to his conference and a few days later Trum and I flew to Switzerland to visit Jess and her family.

First Day: Basel Switzerland

 Ruined Castle near Basel. Trum's friend Sam can see this castle from his school, isn't that awesome! The boys had a blast exploring this place together!

 Look at me. Do I look jet lagged? Because I was. Oh, boy, soooo jet lagged.

 You can't tell from the picture because of the flash but Jess took this picture from the inside of a pitch black tunnel. The boys ran right through it while Jess and I freaked out and thought we would die (or at least fall down) at any moment.

Second Day: Colmar France

 Jess drove us to Colmar for the day. It was so absolutely beautiful! We just kept saying, "Look at this place! I can't believe how beautiful and charming it is!" I felt like I was in a Disneyland town, but it was real.

 Colmar is called "Le Petite Venice" because of this beautiful canal.

 Not everything was wonderful, the boys were getting a little wild. And we were tired of yelling at them and looking like "Crazy Americans" so this is them in time-out.

 Mmmm, food.

Aww, BFF's.

Don't worry there is much more to come. Or do worry there is much more to come.
