Bad tolz

Ahhh . . . Bad Tölz . . . you were our first Weinachtsmarkt road trip last year with our new little William, it's only fitting (yet, unfortunately coincidental) that you'd be our last. Sniff, sniff.

Picture it.
The last Sunday we'd be in Munich in December. Ever.
On and off blizzard conditions.
Friends Oskar and Juliette as accomplices to our fun.
The outcome?
A festive party to go!



Gorgeous, though hilly and slippery, Bad Tölz

The snow starting to come down. Those poor horn players's hands!

Getting super snowy! Should we go inside? Nah! Let's go for a walk!

Juliette's snow angel in an untouched park.

And she's up!

Jeff and Oskar just lead to trouble. I'll let you decide whether this photo was taken before or after Gluhwein consumption.

Hooray for the Zabel 3!

And just for nostalgia's sake . . . last year's Christmas card picture taken in Bad Tölz.

Sorry, folks, we're sad to announce (but you're probably delighted to read) that this is our last Christmas Market entry for our blog. Our dear son was diagnosed the next day with bronchitis and given doctor's orders to stay indoors. So we weren't able to drive to Augsburg for a second attempt to view the infamous angel show, nor swing down to the Glockenbach's Pink Christmas. Would you believe that between the terrorist threats early in the month and a sick son later in the month, I didn't even make it to Marienplatz's Weinachtsmarkt this year?!? That's okay, I think we got our fill. ;)
Who knows, maybe someday we'll be back for more . . . gluhwein, that is!
