Overnight trip to Engelberg

To prepare future trips with Noah, we decided to take a trial overnight trip to a place we've never been before, Engelberg, which is a relatively short train ride from Luzern. It all went well, and now we feel a little more prepared for traveling out of the house with him, and Engelberg is a nice place too. Our next trip will be back to the US to visit friends and family on a trans-conti, bi-coastal two week Soirée...
Enjoy the pics...

Even the very little kids can ski!
A long walk makes Noah sleepy

Clear, blue skies...
I love the alps!!!

Noah's first gondola ride
Wow, it was a longer ride than we anticipated...
Ski lifts and igloos...
Pulling 16 metric tons of ski lift cable with couterweights and flywheels...

The train ride home was just as much fun...
Home again, bathed and clean...

Noah looks like he's ready for boots and a pole of his own.
