Joseph had a conference in Garmisch, so we decided to make it into a vacation. If you look closely, there is a paraglider in front of the mountain.
Edelweiss Resort has a beautiful cafeteria.
Mandy thought the fountain in Garmisch was funny.
Mandy tried to eat the giant ice cream cone. We gave her a real one instead.
The Bavarian architecture is just charming in the summer.
Mandy uses her eyes to great effect.
Emily can't resist trying to pet a dog.
The Bavarian Alps are beautiful in the sunset. So is my family.
Edelweiss is pretty in the evening.
Ready for a new day.
Here we are at the Ettal Monastery.
The inside of the monastery is ornate and beautiful.
Emily and Mandy loved the swans. So did King Ludwig when he was around.
The fountains at Linderhof were in Louis XIV style.
King Ludwig had an artificial cave built.
Ludwig would have himself rowed around on this boat in the Venus Grotto.
I had to leave the shutter open for 15 seconds to get this exposure, as it was so dark. Luckily, I had a tripod in my backpack.

Joseph found a tree he could hide under.
