Garmisch-Partenkirchen


Last Sunday morning we ("we" being the four of us along with Dan's parents) hit the A-1 northbound and headed to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany in the Bavarian Alps. Since the drive takes almost 10 hours, we spent the night in Bologna, Italy (where we experienced the coldest weather of the entire trip!).


On Monday afternoon we arrived in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, a small town at the foot of some of Germany's best skiing. Festive holiday lights lined the downtown pedestrian-only streets and a Christmas market filled the small main square. Allison downed hot chocolate and Ethan began his love affair with snow. The Bleicher's apartment luck continued here - an authentic Alpine space boasting spectacular views of the Alps and plenty of space for the six of us to spread out.

The ole' Honda Odyssey.

The outside of our second floor apartment. Note the lace curtains- so Bavarian!

Our cozy apartment felt more like a mountain lodge.
