Christmas Trip Day #1

Day #1 - Sunday
Today we left our house in Belgium to drive south all the way to Switzerland. Along the way, we stopped in Luxembourg and France. The drive to Engelberg, Switzerland was only 6 hours and a beautiful trip. Switzerland is indescribable. As I write this, I am sitting in the lobby of our hotel with a view of the ski jump off the Alps where they held a competition today. (A Swiss man won with lots of Swiss flags waving.) There is plenty of snow, ice, slush and everything needed to make great ski conditions.
We had a real Swiss meal of meat and cheese fondue. We are all smiles in the picture because the food was so good. We even made a reservation to go back again on Tuesday.
Tomorrow we will have ski lessons and get on the slopes. Bob is a good skier and can't wait. He is acting like a little kid on their way to Disney World! He is so excited. I promise to let him be in the picture tomorrow with an action shot hopefully.
