2/13/20: date night

By
We started the morning with sandcastles. Lauren and I found a sea snail crawling in the water, about the size of a nickel. Only his antenna? Feelers? Stuck out the front, we never saw the rest of him. We set up the tent we brought to give Abby some shade. It was about perfect, but the constant breeze here made it keep tipping on us. We bagged it up and put it with the other beach stuff under the house in case it serves someone else better. 

We decided we needed another visit to The Wreck at Rum Point for lunch. Nana and Lauren walked up there (about 3/4 mile) ... Lauren said it was a very bumpy ride in the stroller! Nana got another black bean burger, Jeff and I got fish wraps again, and Lauren and Papa split fruit and fries. Jeff found a new favorite drink: Cayman Colada ... pina colada with raspberry liquor swirled in. Abby loves the fries and fruit too - holds on the the fruit for a pretty long time sucking on it. 

More swimming in the afternoon. After baths, I put Abby to bed and then Jeff and I walked back to Rum Point for a date night dinner. The Wreck was all shut down, just a couple of tables of stragglers left finishing drinks. The other restaurant is open for dinner. I had a glass of rose, Jeff had a Cayman Colada. We shared calamari and a Caesar salad. Jeff had lobster ravioli - tasty, but very rich! I had teriyaki mahi mahi. And a Mud Slide for dessert 😊

When we got home Lauren was asleep, but apparently took a while to fall asleep, asking Nana “when my mom gets home, can I *leap* out of bed to give her a hug?!”

Travel day

By
Monday.  We really lucked out on weather the first 6 days. The last 3 were definitely not great for the pools. Today was sunny again and it’s amazing how much warmer it felt while we were walking around.  We got up and packed and headed out before 9 to try to catch a feeding. Never saw a feeding but wandered through the aquariums again. Breakfast at Shake Shack. Up over the rope bridge again.  Got our luggage and checked out at 11 and caught our shuttle to the airport. The ride to the hotel seemed to be on major roads, but the ride back to the airport seemed to take us through a ton of small rundown streets. We did go past the US Embassy and a few hospitals as well.  The line for TSA was long but went pretty fast and we cleared customs quickly. I got a Starbucks (coffee for me, pastries for the girls) and the girls colored in the gate area. Flight was easy and the girls discovered they could play tic tac toe against each other on the screens in the seats. We made it ...

Lauterbrunnen and Mürren, updated

By
Lauren and I are reading books, Jeff's at the laundromat. Really good day today. 21,000 steps! We're pooped! Walked thru the Lauterbrunnen valley, so beautiful. Wonderful day for it, too. Then up a cable car to Murren. I will post more later, but my phone battery is low and I'm going to try to get Lo to sleep. Update:  Yesterday was awesome. Jeff said it was his favorite hike, I still think Mannlichen too Kleine Scheidegg is my fave, but this was a very close second.  Started with breakfast again. L ate more pancakes, I got a fried egg and a roll with Nutella. Yum! Ooh, and the coffee, so good.  Then a nap for L and we got packed for the day. Caught the noon train to Lauterbrunnen. It was our first time leaving the station there; we've changed trains there a ton, but never left the platform. Town was really nice, and we had a gorgeous sunny day. The first waterfall is just outside of the main drag and then we got on what a blog I read called "a ...

Mannlichen

By
So last night we went to an Italian steakhouse/ pizza place for dinner called Sina's. We kept Lauren entertained with several of those really long skinny hard breadsticks (Mom, remember when you used to buy those for us?) and then when our anti pasta plate arrived (ham, salami, cheese, pickles (they seem to love pickles here!) and really tasty) the waiter (I think he was the owner) looked right at her sitting in Jeff's lap, said "this is for you" and set it right in front of her...a split second later she had both hands smack in the middle of the plate. Pretty funny, wish I'd gotten a picture. Jeff had pizza for dinner, I had spaghetti alla carbonara (good, but not as good as yours, Mom). Lauren sat in our laps until our main course came and then sat pretty happily in her stroller next to me, as long as I kept putting pasta in her mouth! Dinner was really good, probably amplified by the fact it was only our second real meal of the trip and neither of us had lunch....
