For Christmas we took an hour train ride to the top of Europe called Jungfrau. The girls and I got to enjoy the side affects of altitude sickness - not all of the side affects like upset stomach but irritability, lethargic, very short of breath, you name it. Brittney started to adjust after a short nap (see picture below) but Sophie didn't enjoy the experience much. It was pretty amazing to realize altitude sickness is for real, but the minute we got down to the bottom of the mountain we were all back to "normal"...
The girls weren't too impressed with all of the outside views ~ they were pretty amazing from the top of this mountain, but the Ice Palace was pretty awesome. It was like an igloo on steroids. The entire place is made out of ice. There are tunnels, ice sculptures, you name it. Kevin enjoyed sliding on the floor like he was ice skating. It was pretty amazing but VERY cold inside the Ice Palace.
To end the day we came back to the apartment and had Christmas dinner all together. Then we played UK Monopoly, Battleship, and watched a Scooby Doo movie. It was a pretty awesome day! Great memories
