Davos, Switzerland

A few weekends ago (before Thanksgiving), we went to Davos for a nice, relaxing weekend. We stayed at the Sheraton Wildhaus that offered FREE babysitting, so it was a no-brainer. We drove up Friday night and stayed until Sunday. On Saturday, we scheduled massages and went to the hotel spa/sauna/steam room (no bathing suits allowed). Kelsey did great with the babysitter and we were able to enjoy our vacation/trip.

We ate at a pizza place in Davos for dinner on Friday night and it was fun to watch them make the pizza in front of us.

You may have to blow this one up to see it - these are the looks I get while taking pictures.
My family is very patient with me, most of the time.

Goodbye to Davos

Looking back on Davos

The little town of Klosters
Cool Clock Tower
The bells went off while I was taking pictures. Kelsey, who was sleeping in the car below the tower, made a face of disgust to show she wasn't pleased with the interruption.
Tal Street
A bench I thought was pretty cool
A cool bridge going from Klosters to Davos
A little Swiss city in the mountains

Schiers Bridge
While on our way home, we decided to take this random road that said there was a World Famous bridge. Not knowing how far out of the way or what it had to offer, off we went. About 15-20 minutes later, we finally came to the Schiers Bridge.

Tal saw a lookout point below the bridge so we hiked down holding baby, tripod and camera. Luckily, it was well worth it and we had a good view. And best of all, none of us slipped and fell down the mountain (it was pretty wet).


Our hike through the forrest
This picture took at least 6 tries. Kelsey kept looking at me when I would run back.
Walking across the bridge
A tender kiss
Chillin' on the grassy Alp hill
As we were leaving the beauty of where we were, we saw this thick cloud cover. I thought it looked very foreboding so I took a picture. Once we passed through these mountains, it was complete cloud cover all the way home. I took the Cook's family pictures and you can tell from those how cloudy it was!

From the looks of it, Fall early winter might actually a better time to go to Switzerland since it seems to have more sunshine. What a great getaway.
