Just couldn't get enough of 2009, could you?!  Well, neither could we.  From our start sailing in the BVI to an exciting Swiss Christmas with GS & GR, it was indeed a heck of a year.  

Here is all the excitement - - well maybe plus some additional fluff that only a polite family member would appreciate, starting with the most recent first (or to see them in order, start with  Sailing in the British Virgin Islands, and then just keep hitting next...):

• Christmas trip to London

• Fall in Bougy

• Climbing the via ferrata in Champery

• October break in St Tropez

• On the trail in Gryon with Laura

• The summer odyssey through Eastern Europe, the Baltics and then into Sweden and Denmark

• Trip to Belgium for moules, frites and waffles, and chocolate

• Lyell's camping birthday

• Teri turns fff - uh - fff - er - another year older

• We rented a vintage VW camper with the BTeam and went to Indian Cove, Anza Borrego, and the California coast)

• Refuge in Verbier

• Skiing in Megeve for "Ski Week" (heavens no, do not call it Winter Break!)

• What really happens in Bougy

• The Chateau D'Oex Balloon Festival

• Sailing in the British Virgin Islands

And for a bit of photo art - this was the view from our Refuge in Verbier.  To put this photo into perspective, that tiny speck in the middle is a skier.  Its a big place.
