Being that we live in Europe and we are within reach of so many great places, I decided that we needed to get out and explore… and explore we have! We decided to fly to Salzburg, Austria for our trip. The airfare cost less than $300 for 4 round-trip tickets. How could we NOT go?!?! Now when we arrived in Salzburg at 8am today, we rented a car and drove to Germany. We wanted to go into the Alps for some fresh mountain air. If we left today, I would feel content. It was a 2 hour drive so when we got here, we had plenty of time to kill so we decided to go hiking and playing in the Alps.

Here is the view from the car on the way here (yes I held the camera outside of the window!):

Luckily we had prepared ourselves for the Alps by watching the Sound of Music this weekend. The mountains were sprinkled with edelweiss and when we reached the top it was gorgeous. At first we all sat down at the top and just looked around. We didn’t have a whole lot to say as the sight was incredible. Words wouldn’t do it justice. That lasted about 3 minutes when Abe decided he needed to find some sticks. So boys being boys decided to have a sword fight while I watched it all

Here is another picture of the view. The building on the left is a beergarden which we visited before heading back down!
