So this post isn't exactly about Mark... but Ben, Mark, and I went on a short weekend get-away to Garmisch (which is in the German Alps), and I thought you might enjoy seing some pictures!
We got lots of rest together, despite some nights during which Mark decided he needed to eat every 2-3 hours. We enjoyed the delicious German breakfast, took naps, went swimming, had coffee and cake in a German cafe, and hiked in the snow together. We walked around the Eibsee, which is a beautiful mountain lake at the foot of the Zugspitze. See for yourself how gorgeous it was...
We were there with Ben's Dad, Larry, in October 2005 (when I was pregnant with Mark already, but didn't know it yet!). That time it was Autumn, with bright yellow leaves and turquoise water.
This time it had snowed quite a bit, but it wasn't too windy, so the hike was pleasant. It took about 2.5 hours, and was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful! Mark slept most of the time, bundled in a snow suit, and tied onto Ben's tummy. Anyway. Here are some pictures I took while we hiked.
I like how the snowy branches frame this view of the lake.
I think I will watercolor this picture...
Ben especially liked this view, with the sun glinting on the water through the clouds.
Mark is almost too heavy for me to carry him like this forvery long... but Ben didn't mind one bit, and Mark loved it!
All the pictures were taken in color... they look black-and-white though!
Here is the view from the highest point of the hike.
