Family in Town!!!!

Mary, John and Katie arrived on Monday and we immediately started seeing the sites. After a delayed flight, they were happy to be in Europe and anxious to start their vacation!
Once we checked their luggage at the train station in Zurich, we toured the city.
It was a blustery, crisp day, but the city was beautiful!

On Friday we went to Grindelwald…an alpine wonder covered in fabulous snow. We stayed at one of our favorite Berghaus’ and once again, John, Mary and Katie found themselves in the honeymoon sweet with an incredible view of the Alps. Robert and I hiked from First to the lake, however, we were quite surprised to find that that lake was under about six feet of snow. That night, we all gathered in the dining room for a wonderful dinner and great conversation. The next morning we woke up to a fresh layer of snow and headed to Jungfraujoch
The Top of Europe…more photos to come!
