Mom Takes on the Alps!

My mom visited for a month and while she was here we took a trip the one of my favorite spots in the Alps - Grindelwald.
We stay at a fabulous mountain house with incredible views and great food.
My mom visited Grindelwald last year, but this year I wanted her to experience the beauty first hand.
So we jumped into a gondola and took it up to First.
We then proceeded to hike up to Balchalpsee.
My mom isn't the hiking type, but she did a great job and was happy she made the trek!
Great work mom!
Send some of these photos to the folks in the AARP!
View from the deck at Berghaus Bort...nice place to have a coffee!
Perfect day in the Alps!

Forget it...this place rocks!

Not sure what it is, but I love the car in this photo

A little help over the tough spots...thanks Alpine dude!

We all made it...Noah loved it too...

Good job Ms. Taylor!! Isn't hiking GREAT!! WOW, the Bort looks so much more awesome than it already is in that beautiful summer climate! I love the fox with the Marmot! Cool (except for the Marmot). Can't wait to visit again!!
