Europe Trip 2010

We had a wonderful vacation visiting all of my family in Europe! We first went to see my mom's side of the family in Switzerland and then my dad's side in Austria. The girls did so well traveling and had such a great time meeting everyone for the first time. We were all spoiled with amazing hospitality and food! We are so grateful for the wonderful time that we had together!

We went to visit Zermatt, the beautiful little village in the mountains where I was born. We had to park our car on a train that took us through the mountains right outside the village.

Then we had to park our car in a garage and take another train into the village. There are no cars allowed in Zermatt.Our cute little Swiss Chalet Hotel in Zermatt
