Nomads - via everything but camels

We miss our house, but we've been so busy traveling around there's little time to be sad - though we drove by our first family home and the new owners painted the door a purple that just doesn't work. :-(

Anyways... so our travels... to EUROPE in honor of Auntie Petra's wedding! Instead of just checking out Croatia - mommy was afraid it would be too hot, and she'd overheat again - we took a road trip that covered a lot of the Alps and nearly every type of transportation... 

PLANES to and from Zurich, Switzerland

TRAINS, to almost the top of Europe, Jungfrau

and AUTOMOBILES, most of the time... 

We also WALKED, but usually ended up on Daddy's (and sometimes Mommy's) SHOULDERS.

by GONDALA - to the mountain side town of Murren and to the top of the Dolomites.

by BOAT... We skipped the other type of gondala in Venice and stuck to the valparettos

and finally... by ROLLER COASTER!!  Our first roller coaster ride - the Osttirodler in Austria. We said "Wee!" all the way down.

We think that riding the roller coaster seems like the most excitement -- hope you and Davin enjoyed every second. The rest of the adventure seems like a "once-in-a-lifetime" set of activities. Perhaps, it is merely the first of many international adventures that you guys get to have...

Wow! You now need to try a camel!
