Military families stationed in Europe have one of the best MWR facilities at their fingertips: Edelweiss lodge and resort in Garmisch Germany. During winter, it’s a skier’s paradise. But come summer, the flowers and fields are alive and ripe for hiking and outdoor fun. Tim conducted a marriage retreat for military families over the weekend and we were able to tag along and enjoy time at the lodge as well as visit downtown Garmish for some window shopping and German food. The weather was a bit hit-or-miss with rain showers mixed with sunshine but it didn’t prevent us from stopping at Pano for a cup of cappucino and a little ice cream from the eis shop across the street.
