Kinderhotel
There is a whole industry here in Alps and the Dolomites that focuses on family vacations. Yes, I know we have disneyland and such, but this is family vacation like you’ve never seen family vacation…
From what I understand, as this is our first time going to a Kinderhotel, these places are mountain resorts that have everything you might need: activities that run the gamut from hiking to horseback riding, spa services, and fine, all-inclusive, organic dining. This is all combined with the ever-present Italian idea of “mini-club”- in other words, a place for the kids to go and be entertained while you I go get a massage and sit in the Turkish Bath and Erick rides his road bike all over the Alps.
Most exciting to me, is the dining situation. There is a main dining area and then off the dining room, there is a playroom/dining area for the children. Now, what I *think* this means is that Erick and I? We might get to have an uninterrupted conversation at dinner. This sounds almost too good to be true, but I’m excited to find out!
So, Yoginis, I will be back with you September 8th. Arrivaderci! Photos and video to come…

Oops! ArrivEderci!
I have fond memories of a trip to the Dolomiti. I wish we could afford the Alps! The girls have Swiss citizenship and we can’t afford to show them around! Sad, huh? But, then, that’s what we get for trying to save to buy a house.
I hope you have loads of fun and relaxation!

Have lots of fun. Sounds great I loved Obama’s speech too.

I think that’s the best way of spending one’s spare time. You give rest to your body and soul and fill yourself with positive emotions.
