Suisse Family Ramos Part I: Overcoming Jetlag

 As you will see, by Day One, it was a losing battle. 
At the airport in Amsterdam during our layover…

During dinner on the day we arrived – Monday.

We, all, somehow woke up in one accord at 11pm Swiss time, hung out for an hour or so and then struggled to fall back asleep.  When we finally did, no one wanted to wake up the next morning.

 

Even my blingin’ b-day hat wasn’t able to keep Ty from falling asleep!

Never before have our boys begged us to let them lay down to sleep during the day.  It was hard trying to keep them awake, especially since we were so tempted to go ahead and take a nap with them!  But, for the most part, we stuck to our guns.  And they were troopers…Ty included! 

Our travel game plan was showers first thing in the morning, minimal naps during the day, drink lots of water, avoid excess sugar, and plenty of outdoor play time.  The weather has been brisk, so breathing in the cool air has been quite invigorating.  The plan has worked fairly well and the boys have been sleeping through the night and ready for a guten morgen when they wake up!  

Oh, and did I mention that Switzerland is absolutely breathtaking?!

  1. This montage of pictures of sacked out boys is crazy hilarious.  I mean, I am absolutely tickled over here.  Green with envy that you’re in the land that gave us Helvetica, but I am laughing nevertheless!
