I was going to try to keep these spring break posts in the order that they happened, but I just realized a few places were skipped. Schloss Linderhof being one of them. It's another palace built by crazy Ludwig, and the only one he lived to see completed. You have to walk through the grounds a ways to get to it, and the kids had fun playing in the snow and teasing swans along the way.
Walking up to the castle. Luke thought hiking off the trail was more fun.
El insisted on bringing Charlie, her little furball. She begged and pleaded to have this weird little thing when she saw him at Edelweiss lodge gift shop. We gave in and it was her souvenir for the trip.
Pestering swans.
Finally got to the castle.
We were a little castled out, so we just saw it from the outside. The grounds were really pretty. It's probably even more awesome without all the snow! Supposedly Versailles was the inspiration for this one. A much smaller Versailles...
And some pictures of the cute little town of Garmisch that we took the same day. It was a fun place to walk around for the afternoon. This town hosted the 1936 games. Garmisch was a partner with Munich in trying to get the bid for 2018, but the IOC gave the games to Pyeongchang.
The kids had fun just chilling in this ski lift thing on the side of the road.
I love walking around little German towns. So cute and so much character. All the calligraphy on the buildings took me back to my calligraphy days at BYU. Loved that class. And, the gothic font found all over in Germany was the most challenging to learn.
