Custom payment amounts: are available if you would like to pay MORE than the minimum  monthly amount.  Email me at brandi@theansweristravel.com

German dinner- THIS IS FAMILY STYLE.  A PRESET (you will not be able to choose what is served) MENU is brought out to each table where each person will serve themselves from each dish served at the table.  Last year, we had some families who were disappointed in the food. The meals are prepared by Germans who pride themselves in preparing authentic  dishes. I HAVE ASKED THEM TO DO THIS FOR OUR GROUP because FOOD is a HUGE PART OF EXPERIENCING A CULTURE. THE GERMAN MEAL ADDS TO THE EXPERIENCE of the trip. It is okay if you choose not to participate in the meal, BUT I NEED TO KNOW NO LATER THAN OCTOBER 1 so that I can prepare the restaurant. There is NO DISCOUNT IF YOU OPT OF THE GERMAN MEAL.  I encourage you to at least try the German meal. You may be surprised! 
 
Dishes may include: Porkschnitzel,  Chicken Schnitzel with Creamy Mushroom Gravy, Knockwurst(Pork sausage) Garlic Sausage ) Weisswurst ( Veal sausage Sauerbraten ( Beef sausage), Schweinebraten, Spätzle ( Homemade Noodles) , Red Cabbage , Sauerkraut , German Potato Salad. Subject to change.

Breakfast, lunch & dinner on own.
 
Today we spend most of our time outdoors. BE PREPARED TO WALK/HIKE with your little ones.  At both Anna Ruby  & Brasstown Bald, there are places to take breaks along the way. At Brasstown Bald, there is a shuttle to bring you to the top of the mountain if you are not able to walk it, however, you may miss part of the program.  Utilize the cinch bag to make sure you have everything you need for the day. Water,  snacks, meds, etc. We may not be able to make it back to the hotel before the evening activity.
