We did the same Squadron ski trip to the Kirchberg area of Austria that we did last year. Once again we stayed at the amazing Hotel Landgut Furtherwirt. This time our family stayed for the whole week. We skied a lot even though the snow was just okay this year. I had a skiing breakthrough on this trip and felt like I really got the hang of it. The kids weren’t interested in skiing at all, but were happy to try out a pony ride, go sledding and just play with their squadron friends in the “Happy Place.” We all took turns with a stomach bug on this trip, but even so, we managed to have a great time once again. We took one day off from skiing and headed an hour east into Salzburg to visit Red Bull’s Hanger 7. It’s a free museum of sorts with all kinds of planes and cars and even the capsule that took Felix Baumgartner to space, where he jumped back to earth, breaking the speed of sound on his way. The kids thought it was really cool. Then we visited the Christmas market, where we all tried a variety of sweets: donuts and these pancake-like things covered with different sauces. We always really enjoy this trip just before Christmas and are looking forward to doing it one last time in 2014!
