| Chloe's room at our Chalet Candamo (the only 5 star chalet in Murren) was fantastic. We all had our own bedrooms and bathrooms, great balcony views of the Alps and grocery store, restaurants and shopping just steps away.. Another shout out to Jackie |

 |
| We had a fun time on the trip realizing that Whit, who rejected kids menus back to the waiter 10 times on the trip (kinda embarrassing), that he'll eat the Salmon special and pasta special off the adult menu but we found him on multiple playgrounds along our trip...we love you Whit. Thanks for keeping it real! |

| Hike from Gimmelwald to Murren the first day |

After a short stay in Bern, we were in Murren, just a train ride away. Jackie rented a chalet and we ate local, cooked in a few nights, hiked most every day and had a great time. Chloe and Whit played soccer with German speaking kids, Chloe and I played chess at the fitness center on an outside table, we hiked to Birg/Schilthorn (Schilthorn is where the 1969 James Bond film was filmed, it was amazing), had a cows milk farm tour, Jackie, Chloe and I biked in Lauterrburen, most of us hiked/climbed the Via Ferrata and overall Jackie gets the shout out for planning yet another perfect trip!!
I'll let the photos speak for themselves. After Murren, we went to Lusanne and stayed 3 nights. That blog to follow!!
