This weekend we did some castle hunting in Thun, Switzerland. It's about an hour and a half from Basel and worth the little drive. This is a little drive for us Americans but a long one for the Swiss. They are astonished by our time spent in cars. All are mortified to hear about JB's minor league baseball road trips that lasted 10 + hours. multiple times a week. yikes.
...
Thun has a gorgeous turquoise lake, authentic swiss architecture, and the town is dotted with fairy tale castles.
I require little more in life.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

A fairy tale deserves a castle! I love all of these so much. I've always told my husband I want a turret on my house someday, it just makes everything more magical! Happy fourth of July!
HOW EXCITING! Thank You so much for posting pictures from Thun! My family came from the banks of Thunersee, near Steffisburg! I can't wait to go! We thought about dropping down while we are in Germany next year, but I think we are going to wait until we can spend a week or so in Swiss. Awesome pics!
