    Katie's Report:
    My Trip to the Trapp Family Lodge
    (May 12 & 13, 2003)


    Hello! My name is Katie (the trivia one...lol.). I've just returned from the Trapp Family Lodge. It was beautiful. The mountains and the flowers - it was very cool. There were a lot of different flowers and plants all over and they even had a person specifically hired just for the garden. They have a lot of different of activities and stuff for both children and adults, but I didn't really do anything except swim. It was great swimming because everyone was in school or at work and so there was like no one there, I loved it!!!


    The people were extremely nice and I had the most wonderful time. There were a lot of pictures of the von Trapps and The Sound of Music (I am s0o0o0o obsessed with that movie - i saw it like 200 times atleast in the past 5 months...lol), there were even some pictures of the broadway version and Die Trapp Family (the german movie). There were so many pictures of them, it was great because I learned so much!!


    Anyway, there are a lot of rooms. There is a dining room, a lounge, a room where you like can watch tv, there is a lobby, and a few othersthat I can't remember...lol! The gift shop had a lot of stuff in it that were so cool. I got the book Maria Augusta von Trapp wrote and their CD.


    Oh yeah and the best thing happened to me! I got Maria von Trapp - the one who was sick and needed a governess to come stay and teach her because she was so weak (and so if it wasn't for her, there never would have been any Sound of Music!) - to sign my book. It was s0o0o0o0o ko0l! I would say that was definatly was the greatest part!!!!!!


    Well that's all about my trip. It was really amazing there!
