We decided to take a quick weekend trip to Zurich to see what it was like and hoped quietly for nothing more than some snow.&nbsp; There were several highlights to the trip:<\/p>\n<p>1.&nbsp; The flight and hotel for both of us was FREE!&nbsp; I love that!<br \/>2.&nbsp; We arrived Friday night, ate dinner, and then slept for almost 12 hours.&nbsp; I love sleep.<br \/>3.&nbsp; We ventured out and saw the beautiful old town Zurich.&nbsp; Cobblestone streets, Alps in the near distance, <br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; and beautiful rolling hills.&nbsp; Amazing and just as we had imagined.<br \/>4.&nbsp; We ate some delicious food and drank enough beer to make up for missing the night before.<br \/>5.&nbsp; We woke up Sunday morning to SNOW!&nbsp; Beautiful and giant flakes of snow covered everything.&nbsp; The<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;beautiful hilly city, was now one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.<br \/>6.&nbsp; Realizing we hadn&#8217;t eaten the famous Swiss chocolate since we arrived, we stopped at the airport <br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; specialy chocolate shop and indulged.&nbsp; No wonder it is famous.&nbsp; It was delicious.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-j9BaVMOEcNU\/UNWaNwi4SkI\/AAAAAAAAA6U\/netst2WvCSM\/s1600\/IMG_0550.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: 1em;
