The last blogpost of our Switzerland series, a full month after we’ve come back. For the labor day “long weekend” we finished off our trip with 4 days at the Marchenhotel in Braunwald.

Wengen & Spiez, Switzerland
Squeezing these last Switzerland blogposts, a month later! I only have technically 5 weeks of maternity leave before heading back to work. Time flies!

2025 Switzerland Trip Overview
Baby C just came back from her first plane trip, and first international trip! It was also our first big trip as a family of 5. Surprisingly, it was the easiest trip we’ve ever taken – maybe our standards have just lowered, and we’re much more lax about compromised sleep schedules. It also helps that…
