Swiss Chocolate

The Riches go to Switzerland- part II with baby..... 

Alas, it´s time for our annual de Abiega family vacation. Last year we tackled the Dolomites in Italy, Slovenia and Croatia (7.5 months pregnant). This year- Switzerland with a 10 month old. Surprisingly enough it was smooth sailing. We started in Geneva and worked our way around the highlights, passing thru Zermatt/Matterhorn, St Moritz, Liechtenstein, Lucerne and the all-famous Jungfrau (which Ricardo and I attempted several years ago, but this time- we could actually see the views!). Lovely trip, lovely people and even more lovely chocolate.

Passing thru Lucerne (Lichenstein was just before- and even though we spent a day there, not much to photograph!)

off to St Moritz

Swinging Bridge

never knew the name of this place- just a little village where we stopped for lunch

and my favorite picture from the vacation...... priceless.

10 months old

Little Miss Personality- you are 10 months old and full of energy! You spend most of the time on your feet and are starting to balance for a few seconds on your own. Though the word "no" means nothing to you (actually you like to smile and wave when i say it =) you can start to give kisses when we say "da me un beso", you will jump when we say "salta" and you wave whenever anyone says "adios". Looks like month 11 we'll have to work on your english a bit more!! You spend most of your days pulling down daddy's cd's and wondering off into different rooms. You love to lay on the floor with me and pull my hair, balance on my head and bite my nose. Weird- but adorable! You're still loving everything you eat, even the fish with veggies and hard spanish bread you like to chew on. This is the month of crazy Carolina faces- twisted tongue, biting your lip- you are quite the character. Lucky doesn't begin to describe how wonderful it is to spend the day with you and see you grow up right before my eyes.

Some call it work...... I call it a mini vacation!

This little love bug took me to the airport to say goodbye. As I went thru security- I bawled! Daddy snuck her our quietly to keep the drama to a minimum.
