Switzerland
Family Vacation
Megan, Jen, and Andy met us in Switzerland in June for a family vacation. We met in Zurich and branched out from there for a few days before going to Munich (next blog). We spent the first day walking through Zurich, spent the next day in Lucerne, then travelled around Switzerland, Germany, Lichtenstein, and Austria on the last day (ok, Austria was the result of a wrong turn).
