Switzerland

Me, my two brothers and mom in front of the old bridge in Lucerne
I had the wonderful opportunity to go to Switzerland and meet my mom and brothers for the Labor Day weekend. I really have to give Patrick the credit here. He gave me the nudge I needed to go and handled everything at home while I was away so I could enjoy this trip.

It was such a great experience to see where my mom was born and the places where so many of my grandma's stories took place. I really felt a connection to the cities, mountains and countryside that I saw.

This is where my mom was born.

Near old town Bern

I couldn't forget the infamous Kinderfresser. My girls were fascinated and terrified by it.
