Friday, July 17

Since we were so late getting to bed, we slept until close to noon. We spent our first afternoon on the Zugspitz, the highest mountain in Germany reaching 10,000 feet. The views were incredible! Luckily we arrived when we did because about 1 ½ after we got there the fog moved in. After a nice lunch (Jake really enjoyed his Italian noodle soup), we took a cable car down to a winter ski area of the mountain. The boys got to bobsled down a small hill, not something we get to do in Mississippi even with the snow we had this year. Garrett, being the hot natured child he is, wore shorts today. He even took his coat off when they were running around & sledding. We caught the last cogwheel train down the mountain & spent the rest of the evening walking around Garmisch & having dinner at Edelweiss. We turned in early hoping for a good nights sleep.
