on the road again, Munich, Rome and in between





Ahh, Spring is in the air, the trees are greening the roads in full glory as we drive through the Dolomites from Austria to Padua.

We are on the road again, making the best use of the kids' two week Spring break.

Our first stop was Dachau, maybe not the most uplifting start to a family vacation, but an important place to honor lives lost, and remember a history that should ne
ver be repeated.
A quick somber visit was enough for the family, and off we went to drink in the vibe of Munich at the oldest brauhaus around.

Kids and parents appreciated the stop, including the bonus hotel pool before we struck off for t
he BMW museum the next day.

Fantasy abounds at the Disney for adults, but we held turning in our tired VW for a new BMW for the time being.

Through the alps we drove for the second time this year, sans ski traffic, to the fantasy castle of Neushwanstien that inspired Disney for his Cinderella castle.
