Alps? Who said anything about the Alps?

Just as an aside, I was asked when we are going to see the Alps. I thought I was pretty clear that this trip was not a grand tour but just living in another city for three weeks and taking a few day trips. HA!!! Next week I'm going to get them up at 5 am and we will drive until we are in the Alps. We can take a few pictures and head back. I guess I need to think of it as a bus tour and I'm the driver. We have always enjoyed road trips so this isn't really out of character for us.
