After a gorgeous day at Pilatus we had a few rainy days. Here is how we spent the rest of the weekend!
Nothing better than swimming on a rainy day. We headed to Baar pool where Clara could show off her new swimming skills and the kids could play with some friends. We were even brave enough to do the outside slide despite the cold.
After swimming we played at a park in downtown Zug before heading to eat at one of the only Mexican restaurants. I wish I could say it was amazing food, but at least it was Mexican food:) I don't know how the kids stand these spinning things...makes me nauseous just watching.
Allison one again loving the swing!
The next day we decided to head down by Bern (the Swiss capital) and this cute town called Murten. The have the old city surrounded by the wall still intact. We walked around & shopped a little.
We climbed up the old wall and walked around it for a while.
Amazing views from up there!
We then headed to Avenches, just a few miles away and yet on the French speaking side of Switzerland. Here they have old Roman ruins. This use to be the capital of Helvetia back in the day.
The Roman arena.
You could see how big it once was. It would have been a sight to see.
Out in this field there is an old Roman theater. It was amazing to just wander around and explore.
Sammy & Clara climbing on the once walls.
Alex can't help himself and takes advantage of a little make-believe time.
Across from the theater is the ruins of a Roman sanctuary. It was quarried for many years, so not much remains. But you can see the outline of what it once was. It was huge and beautiful.
One of the last standing columns.
I am always amazed at all there is to see in Switzerland alone. There is so much history here. I love this opportunity we have to explore it all!
