Weekend in Garmisch-Partenkirchen

As an early anniversary present, Bas surprised me last week by coming home and telling me that he had booked us a weekend in Garmisch!  We had a lovely weekend there a couple years ago and really enjoyed several restaurants and the hotel that we stayed in.  So it was a great way to have a quick getaway and some good food and relaxation!

As a habitual over-packer I was quite proud of the fact that I managed to get all 4 of us into one suitcase for the first time!  Even all the diapers!


The hotel even had a bathrobe for Luna, pictured here on her way down to the pool...


How we spent much of our time!





Heading out for a little shopping...


It's not very often we splurge on the extra star!! Had to get a picture. :)



I like the way you can see the reflection in the glass...


Lots of snow here!!


The Zugspitze in the background...



These medieval (?) Fasching costumes were on display in one of the windows and available for sale, too!


Murals on my favorite Trachten mode shop Grasegger...






Of course...




Enjoying some cake instead of a proper lunch...



Apparently the jackalopes here have wings!


Guess it is either called a Wolpi or a Murmel...


Another pretty Bavarian building...






In anticipation of a "lekerlicious" dinner...



Non-plussed...



Neither one lasted till the main course...


One last quick rest before we left!


Now that we have been there twice, I really hope the next time we are there we actually ski!!
