Best Birthday Roadtrip ever

After a wonderful two nights in Montreaux, we weren't sure we could find anything better...  but we did!  Another bucket list for item for Colby is to ski the Swiss Alps.  Since we were visiting in the summer, there wouldn't be any skiing.  Here are a few photos from our amazing and beautiful drive through the alps.

 

 

 

This drive was amazing, but we were dying to see the REAL Matterhorn, not just the one at Disneyland!   Since Zermatt is car-free, we drove to the town of Tasch to catch the train.  It was here, that Annika found her true love - Switzerland!!  Here is the story:  We parked the car at the train station carpark.  As we got out of the car, Annika exclaimed, "Look at the floor, it is soooo clean!  I want to live in Switzerland."  And it is true, Switzerland is very clean and beautiful.

Our first view of the Matterhorn!

Pretty sure we are on top of the world!  So beautiful.

 The Matterhorn, Monte Cervino or Mont Cervin, is a mountain in the Pennine Alps on the border between Switzerland and Italy. Its summit is 4,478 meters high, making it one of the highest peaks in the Alps.

Wow

Arik was in rock climbing heaven

There were so many of these towers that people had built while visiting.  We just had to add our own.  

A little snack with the best view in the world!

 This is one of the best days we have had together as a family.  Mountains, Sun, Family.
