Eifel Vacation

aaah.. the feeling of having a whole 3 weeks leave is a good one :-D
The only question was, did I really want to go camping to the Eifel while it was pouring rain the whole time? Easy answer.. NO!
So I searched and found the Dorint Eifel Resort in Daun, which luckily messed up my reservation a bit and upgraded me to their biggest cottage with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a huge living room, kitchen, dining area, 2 tvs, a stereo, patio and all that just for the 2 little ones and me.. awesome! Especially since the kids were free...
The cottages are totally 70´s and slightly on the rustic side but really nice!

On the way up to this volcanic area we refrained from geocaching along the way because we would have gotten soaked and I didn´t want to kids to sit in the car like that. Same thing when we got there we - we just explored this really big resort and settled in, went to the pool for a couple of hours and testdrove the restaurant. I had booked half-board since I didn´t really want to cook and the kids were free here, too. After that they pretty much fell into a deep coma until the next morning, hugging their new bears that all kids seem to get when checking in.
The next few days were pretty much all on the same schedule: sleep in a bit, have a great breakfast buffet with EVERYTHING you would ever want for breakfast, go geocaching in the rain (yeah - go new rainjackets from the outdoor store!! lol.. and thank you Marmot for being waterproof :-)), come back to go swimming for 2 hours, eat another awesome buffet (each day has a different theme, Schnitzelbuffet, Pizzabuffet, Italian Buffet, Salad Buffet.. wow), play in the living room for a bit and fall back into that coma. We met some really nice people, and Isa sort of has a boyfriend now.. lol.. they swapped addresses so I expect some letter writing here soon - after all, he´s starting 2nd grade and she´s going to 1st next week. he he..
Oh, and another thing happened.. Isa cleaned up the play area in the restaurant.. lol..
