Here are a few more pictures of day trips...
This is a funicular train. It goes up a steep grade from the lake part of Zurich to the University. Of course Aidan had to ride it, so we paid 1 franc and rode up and back on Tuesday.
Later that same day we went to a park on the edge of the lake, but on the other side from where we live. We played in the leaves and collected some. I love this picture of Aidan, but sorry, I can't turn it around!!!
The kids' favorite part of this day was our visit to the Lindt & Sprungli Chocolate Factory Outlet store. Can you say "sugar buzz"?!?
Lainey was at Gymboree today, so I took Aidan out for a special Mommy/Son day. We went to Kindercity, which is comparable to the Ann Arbor Hands On Museum. Of course, I got convinced to buy a yearly membership, so we'll be back with Lainey. Plus, they have these cool workshops for kids 3 and up where they learn how to make chocolate or bread and bunch of other classes which are included with the membership. Even better, we'll get in to the premiere of Madagascar 2 at the movie theatre there!
Last Saturday, we decided to drive to Konstanz, Germany-just over the border. We've heard the shopping prices are much better there. Things are cheaper, but not that much!
We had a good time walking around the city. That is until Lainey starting coughing uncontrollably and we decided to race home to get the inhaler!
On Sunday (Lainey's birthday) we took her out to lunch then went to Uetliberg, the "rooftop of Zurich". The kids brought their scooters and rode through Rail City to the train that took us up the mountain.
At the top there was a great playground and a nice hotel/restaurant with a great view. Uetliberg is known for all the hiking trails, but we weren't in the mood for long hikes that day. We'll attempt that another time!
View of Zurich from Uetliberg. We live somewhere on the other side of the lake just above where the highest part of the tree is pointing.
