Date day hike

We had a rare day with Charlotte in school and Olivia, Adam & I off. I was talking with a friend about what they were doing for the day and just mentioned that Adam & I had wanted to go hiking but it was a path that was a bit too much for Olivia so I hadn’t figured out our plans yet. She then offered to take care of Olivia so Adam & I could go on a date day. I’m not entirely sure the words were fully out of her mouth before I said yes.

Armed with not very good directions, a full array of snacks, and our hiking boots, we set off for Oberegg. It is a quiet little mountain top village in Switzerland, one of the many in the region that still boast more sheep and cows than people. The day turned out to be a bit dreary, but it didn’t spoil the views.

 

We went for about 2 hours and took a snack break. I realized that with the girls we barely go 30 min before breaking out the snacks. It was quite a different pace; and my sweaty face is the proof of it.

After another hour we’d reached the summit. And it was worth the sweat (and the next day of sore thighs).

Thankfully, Adam had done some research ahead of time and located a restaurant in the village that was open so we could have lunch after.

I can't wait to move back to Texas so chili will quit having sweet corn in it. Sigh.

After sitting for an hour, my legs were jelly, but we still had a the downward hike to complete.

Oh and some cows to visit

Adam is going to have a hard time coming up with better date day ideas when we leave here.
