We finally made it to Edelweiss....


We went to Edelweiss at the beginning of November for a long weekend. This is an Armed Forces lodge located in Garmisch which is in the Bavarian region of Germany....an absolutely beautiful area!! There are also lodges located in Florida (Disney), Korea, Hawaii, and Virginia.

It took us about 6 hours to get there after what seemed like a gazillion bathroom breaks along the way....kids! We arrived just in time to check in and get to our horse and buggy ride through the old part of town. It was quite chilly, but a lot of fun to see the sights in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. We shared the ride with a family from England.

He we are after the ride....

The inside of the Lodge was gorgeous.

However, the views outside the front door were amazing!

This Lodge is surrounded by mountains....pictures don't do them justice.

We ate at Market Station most of the time. Here is a peek at part of the dining room. It had excellent food and was reasonable for a family of 7!

Tomorrow we are off to a fairytale castle.......

Wow - how beautiful! I'm sure this is one of the perks to balance out being away from your family! Can't wait for the castle!
