When the kids took over, things changed and the menu was updated from traditional German food. Problem is, when I go I can't seem to order anything other than the Jaeger Schnitzel. It's so good.

Amazing when rhododendrons are in bloom. Watch "Maya Lin: A Strong Clear Vision," then visit her Waves. "Rivers and Tides" on Andy Goldsworthy's will make you want to create. Love his wall at SKAC.
