my heart does back flips at the sight of sundown. Anywhere. It is never an ordinary sight.
Oh, the alps. Even on a cloudy day, amaze me.
Sun-up and sundown, easily me two favorite times of the day. isn't this true for most?
Ahh the world ... getting ready for bed or waking up. It's beautiful.
we enjoyed yummy cheese fondue at the Bellevue
and an alpine beer (:
one day, i will be brave enough for this.
we had a little picnic here! nice spot for one, huh?
i love alpine houses.
Lauterbrunnen is gorgeous and covered in waterfalls!
and the most famous waterfall of the area - Trumelbach.
Last Friday we traveled to Lauterbrunnen and Murren up in the Swiss Alps.
We had such a fun day of hiking and breathing in the fresh mountain air.
I am a total summer beach baby - but the alps could change this.
Beach or Mountains: which do you prefer?

OMG, these photos are totally gorgeous! I'm usually a beach person all the way but your photos made me reconsider that ;)

Well, normally I'd say beach... but I think this post just kicked that thought's booty! Absolutely gorgeous and completely blissful!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow..I'm not sure which to choose now! These photos are just gorgeous! I'd love to spend a day there; it looks so blissful and serene.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely mountains! I love beaches but I can't imagine my life without those beautiful mountains here in Switzerland.
ReplyDeleteIn which canton do you and JB live at the moment?
Nice waterfall shots - so beautiful - what a blessing to be in such a great part of the world! Enjoying your posts! xoxo from Trinidad
ReplyDeleteso gorgeous! you two are living the dream! xoxo jillian:: don't miss my fishs eddy dish giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI Love the Alps- I haven't been able to go back for 10 years, so thank you for posting the lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteIt is a warm and happy way to start my day!
Oh my goodness, I have always wanted to travel to the Swiss Alps. They are breathtaking. I'm a mountain girl myself, especially after living in Colorado!
ReplyDeleteI just love following your blog! I love your upbeat, adventurous attitude and your pictures are always so gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Looks so peaceful. Love the pic of the waterfall!
ReplyDeletethis looks alllllllmost exactly like a hike and i steve took. it was near the jungfrau. any chance its the same one?!
ReplyDeletealso did i tell you we were engaged in flumserberg? am i just throwing around switzerland city names like people do when they really dont know geography? kind of like "i'm from the usa." "where?" "new jersey" "oh! i've been to san diego!"
oh! and i definitely love the beach. love it. but i might be a mountains/lakes girl if i had to choose only one.
ReplyDeleteThe Swiss Alps are literally my fave place in the world. Zermatt was one of my favorite places to go when I lived in Italy.
ReplyDeleteWow, so gorgeous! I think I'm going to have to fess up as a beach person though!
ReplyDeleteYour life is truly MAGICAL!
ReplyDeleteMountains <3 These pictures are gorgeous!

bahahah your asking to pick ONE? well, hubby and I live in rural suburbs, so when we sell this house, we plan on renting ON THE BEACH for a few years, then have babies and move to the mountains..so both, is what i pick. And you make it increasingly difficult to plan my Europe trip- I want to go everywhere you post pictures of!!! such problems to have, right?? :) have a WONDERFUL day!
ReplyDeletei could definitely turn into a swiss mountain giirl like you.
ReplyDeletebut the beach has my heart for now :) and not typical, resort-y beaches. im talking about the kind that no one knows about! although that's hard to find lately.
I adore your glasses! I am looking for something similar- how did you find them? Sooo cute!!
ReplyDeleteHi ash! - They are warby parker - Sinclair.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, these are so pretty! Places in Switzerland look like places out of fairytales or children's books for me, they're just so beautiful , and cute and ...perfect!
ReplyDeletei was going to say beach. and then i saw this post and it may have changed my mind. i'll have to see switzerland when i go back; now i'm really regretting missing it!
ReplyDeleteone day, i will NOT be brave enough for that bridge.
ReplyDeleteThese photos took me back to when I lived in Switzerland 6 years ago - it is such a breathtaking country and you did a phenomenal job with this post at capturing that. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I'm loving that picture of the house with the green shutters and lace curtains. That should definitely be added to your prints :)
ReplyDeleteSO beautiful! Soak it up & enjoy every moment you are over in Europe.. (I can see you are doing that! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh you are giving me the travel bug alright! Your photos are gorgeous! I am definitely a beach girl---but I do love a good hike through some mountains or rainforest that look like your photos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Mountain Scenery and Fondue? That's my kind of place. ;)
ReplyDeleteI used to prefer beach, but as I get older I find myself gravitating more towards the mountains. Aaaah!
once again stunning pictures from the Swiss Alps! I was just driving thru there last week and it was breathtaking! WOuld love to go back adn go to those alpine houses too! But like you, I prefer the beach although the Swiss Alps could convince me...

Hi Sarah!
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I'm a beach girl at heart. For me, nothing can top the ocean. I hope you had/are having a wonderful time. It looks positively breathtaking!
http://thebeautyinmotion.blogspot.com
i want to be there right now.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images!!!
ReplyDeleteWow breathtaking scenery, I have always dreamt of visiting Switzerland. I am more of a beach lover but these views are really beautiful.
ReplyDeletethose houses are beautiful. as is everything else!
ReplyDeletei'm a beach girl, but this may just change my mind. it's gorgeous, and only you could rock a rain jacket like that, haha, cuteee
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm more of a beach person, but that said I've only really lived near a beach up until recently. These pictures are gorgeous! I want to go to Switzerland soo badly! :)
ReplyDeleteWow. Absolutely stunning. It looks like you guys are having a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteI'd take the mountains over the beach I think (especially if I was where you guys are).
Yeah... it's too bad it's not pretty there at all...
ReplyDeletebeautiful! i've always been a beach girl but these photos make me want to visit the alps asap!
ReplyDeleteThis place is going on my must visit list! Gorgeous photos! It is hard to choose between beach and mountains...sometimes in just depends on my mood. I do love the sunshine and sand :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Sarah...beautiful! My favorite day of my time in Switzerland was taking a train up through the alps. SO beautiful and the alpine houses are just amazing!

those swiss alps . oh man these photos take me right back
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! We'll be there in one month, I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom has that same caqulon for fondue!
GORGEOUS photos!! Sarah, you and your life with JB is just amazing. I can only imagine how your children will look back on their amazing childhood :)
ReplyDeletebtw, I have had some amazing fondue in restaurants, and a few times it was amazing, so I have tried to make it THREE times at home and it was a massive, curdled mess FAIL every time. Ugh.
so many gorgeous pictures. i used to be all for living near the beach but after leaving town and returning home to the utah mountains i realize how much i truly love them. so for now i vote mountains so that the beach remains a favorite vacation spot.
ReplyDeleteWell of course I'm already a follower! I love those dresses! They are so cute! - Alyssa
ReplyDeleteLiving in Queensland, Australia, where the coast is full of the most beautiful beaches in the world, you would think I'd have to say beach, but after visiting the Tatra Mountains in Poland (as well as the Swiss Alps) I'm definately a mountain girl. I love the air in the mountains. It's always so fresh and cool. And the views - just spectacular!
ReplyDeletetooooo gorgeous! things like that just take my breath away!
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS pictures! Love them! I want to go :) ha I live near the mountains & love it!

THOROUGHLY enjoying your adventures and photos!! Gorgeous.

So beautiful!! When I was in Milan for work we took a day trip to Foxtown in Switzerland (sad that the only place I have visited in Switzerland is an outlet mall!). On the drive there the views of the Alps were so incredible and majestic!!
