A Big Shout Out to my Jungfrau Peeps and the Asian Community

So much to blog about...so little coffee this early in the morning.

Sunday (two days ago) we finally made it to the top of an Alp. It was amazing...awesome (in the true meaning of the word 'awe')...it was a once in a lifetime experience. Do you know what's on top of an alp? Snow. Blinding, stinging, bright snow. And wind.

All in all, I probably stood out on Jungfrau with a screaming three year old for a good....five minutes. I have proof:

Photobucket That's Cate under there. Needless to say, I was not dressed for the occassion.

There were tons of other impressive things about the Alp trip....catching six trains to get there and a beautiful landscape of mountains and waterfalls to gaze upon during the ride there:

Photobucket Interlaken East, my future retirement community.

So, on said alp, there's an ice palace to walk through and sculptures to admire....and blood on the floor from previous visitors who have as we like to say in the house "ate shit" or wiped out. And yes, the double stroller was skating its way through the palace with the rest of us.

Personally, I had two favorite parts of the day. One was visiting with the husky sled dogs and the other was watching the asian sightseers being more blown away by my kids than than their actual destination for the day.

Photobucket Could have stayed here all day. <3 He was kissing my ear. That's a lot of action for a mom of two.


Photobucket Thank you so much ladies for keeping my little ones entertained in between train stops and a big thanks to your male counterparts for helping with that stroller...tool of satan that it is.

Photobucket Loving up my little boy. He was way more cute than Jungfrau. You can't cuddle an Alp.

And finally, this one sums up the entire day for all of us:

Photobucket Too much Alp for one day.

I do reccomend making it to the top of Europe, as they say over here. Take your kids, the double strollers, and a billion bags of snacks and toys. Do whatever it takes to get there and pray that there will be a thousand of our asian brothers and sisters to help. We couldn't have done it without them. Thanks, guys.
