Garmisch

Last weekend, Tom and I finally got to go on our weekend getaway to Garmisch! We've planning this since October, because the lodge we stayed at fills up very quickly so we had to make reservations far in advance. It's a really neat American lodge/hotel that's in the Bavarian alps. It's so gorgeous there, so we were really excited to be able to get away from everything and spend some quiet time together. On the drive there, we stopped at the Neuschwanstein Castle, which the Disney castle is modeled after. We got there kind of late so we weren't able to tour the inside of the castle, but we were able to take a horse carriage ride up to the castle and walk around a little bit. From there we continued on to the lodge, and had a nice dinner. On Sunday, we had planned to drive up to Munich and Dachau, but after spending about 5 hours in the car we didn't feel like driving anywhere, so we just stayed in town, relaxed, and window shopped a little bit. On Monday we made our way back home, and although it was a nice weekend, it was good to be back home! Tom was so wonderful, doing all the driving and everything, I always appreciate that :). We thought about the cats a lot while we were away, hoping that they were behaving...we had left a bunch of food for them in the food dispenser thing, and we'd left a couple days worth of food extra, just in case...and when we got home, all the food was gone! Jaegar looked a little chubbier, and Madison actually looked skinnier!
