Work - Work - Work

I have been seeing the inside of planes a lot this month, working the dreaded early shift. I think I kind of missed out on fall this year! The pictures of this hike were taken over 2 weeks ago! :(

Germany's Second Most Beautiful Hiking Trail 2011

Wanna see the hiking trail that took second place in the contest of "Germany's Most Beautiful Hiking Trail 2011"?

Snowball

She went from yelling, "Look at me! Look at me!"...

to "Help! Help!"...

... within seconds...

...but I was laughing way too hard to give her a hand...

3 Days In Switzerland

"When am I going to go to Switzerland?", husband would say whenever the kids and I told him about the gigantic mountains, the beautiful scenery and the delicious food at the "Schweizerhof". 

It took us a while, but finally we managed to show him the mountains and the tiny villages. Have him try Engandiner Nusstorte and eat as much Raclette as possible.

And we did find out that winter there is so much more beautiful than in the city.

October

Today was my first day of work after weeks of being off. Nothing special, except that I had to get up at 3am and I knew I would be missing out on a beautiful, sunny October day.

 The first flight was very short. Actually, it wasn't more than a little hop and being the weekend, we were not even half full.

We were about to get ready for our second flight when the captain walked into the galley, waving a piece of paper in his hand.  "We will get to enjoy the beautiful weather after all!" he said with a big grin on his face. "Our next two flights will be operated with a different crew and aircraft. And the only thing we have to do is fly back home!"

I love workdays when they end at 8:15 am.
