After a few blissful days in Chamonix, we were off to Munich. We left our Rick Steves group and found our way, eventually, back to Munich. It took most of the day to travel from Chamonix to Geneva where we caught our flight, had a layover and then finally reach Munich about 10:00 at night……
We drove from Lauterbrunnen into Chamonix on the most beautiful afternoon. There were many times on this trip that I was incredibly thankful NOT to be the one driving and this was certainly one of them. The roads are narrow and windy and the views are INCREDIBLE.

Each new chapter of the European Adventures will feature a new location and a few…
Mandy and Mike invited us to their family cabin on Decatur Island for an afternoon enjoying this incredibly scenic and beautiful small island in the San Juans. You take a small boat from the main land over to Decatur and from there you better be ready to walk or know someone with a golf cart…
