Hot Tubbin with the Swiss

It has been 5 years since Carmen and I spent Christmas in Rome and New Year's in Venice. Since then we haven't traveled abroad, except for our annual trips to Vancouver. I suppose we've been busy raising some baby girls.

We've found the perfect spot for a future big trip---the Thermal Baths in Vals Switzerland (Grandpa Glauser would be proud). This place looks so dreamy. We stumbled upon it in an architecture documentary we tried on a whim from Netflix ("Architectures Disk #2).

The Vals thermal pool hewn out of local rock was created in 1996 and appears to offer the ultimate hot-tubbin experience in the midst of modern architecture. It is the first building in Switzerland to be placed on the list of protected Swiss Heritage Conservation sites after only two years.

It looks like the minimum age for kids is 5, so you can bet we'll be there in 2012 when Liv turns 5! Until then we'll stick with Vancouver.

Of course, all friends and family are invited to join us. So start saving up your Swiss Francs.
