The Chronicles of a Very Adventurous Roadtrip

Five countries, 23 hours of driving, and 14 throw-ups were the features of our first roadtrip! 

There are so many jokes you can make with German words. This means "exit."
LOVE the autobahn!!
Lovely Austrian town.
And another lovely Austrian town. 
This is Ludwig, who lived in the castle we visited. He and Jason are looking quite similar these days. Sorry for the blur and European hair.

This is the hotel where we stayed in Fussen. 




Adorable!! 

Is this paradise, or what? 





On the road again...


We stayed in another beautiful area of German countryside.

This is our group who took the Grip-Birkman. We joined the Germany people. 


Jake and his posse.

On the road for the last time....getting geared up to make the entire trip in one day.

Breathtaking.

We stopped in Switzerland for lunch. I saw these Swiss Army knives and wanted so badly to get them for my brothers...but they were quite expensive. A picture will have to do. 
THEN, after throw up finally stopped and we had full bellies, we were stopped in traffic in the Alps. There was a pretty bad wreck in one of the tunnels. 

We sat there for a couple hours trying to keep the kids happy and get some sleep.

FINALLY! Milano! After 13 hours, we were SO happy to see that sign!
