Kid-Friendly Restaurants Near Garmisch, Germany

When we travel, I'm always trying to find kid-friendly restaurants. It's so hard traveling with small children.

  Tyler's parents came to visit us in Slovenia in October, and the one thing that they really really wanted to do was go to Venice, Italy. We were lucky enough to only live 2 hours away, and it was so close I honestly couldn't say no.  Below is everything I did/wish I would have done.
