Time Machine

In an attempt to bring this blog up to date, I'm going to have to travel back in time about a year (give or take a few weeks). We had just found out that we were being moved back to the States and we wanted to soak up every last minute of our time in Switzerland.

Buchs is a little town right near Gams (where we lived). My kids went to school here and a few times a week after I dropped them off, I would go running through these streets. Buchs is so quaint and picturesque.

Danny and Rach LOVED these rickety old swings


A few weeks later, my kids had their last day of school. They were excited, but I was a wreck. I don't know if it was the pregnancy hormones, but I was so sad to say good bye. I loved this school! Every Thursday, rain or shine, the kids would put on there little orange reflector vests and walk from the school up to the Werdenberg Castle. It was a pretty descent hike!

Before we headed to Philly we managed to squeeze in one last trip. We packed up the car and drove to Zermatt, Geneva, and Lausanne. It was the most beautiful, scenic road trip I've ever been on. Beautiful.
