Our trip to Germany

We just returned from our trip to Germany. We visited Matt, Jenny and the kids at Ramstein AFB. Gramp flew from Ohio and joined us there. We had an amazing time!

Some of the highlights/experiences:

  • Rich history
  • Lots of castles – Touring Neuschwanstein Castle was a dream come true.
  • German food & beer in Hofbrauhaus, Munich: bratwursts & sauerkraut (note: I was the only adult that did not ordered beer with lunch)
  • Driving from Luxemburg to Germany and getting lost in France because we followed the GPS
  • Trying to buy souvenirs from an old lady in Trier who spoke no English
  • Watching Aaron play knights with uncle Cam
  • Enjoying Gramp’s visit
  • Eating fresh baked bread from the local bakery
  • Spending a day in Iceland and shopping for Icelandic wool sweaters (according to Cameron, these sweaters should last about 20 years).

Here are some of the pictures - enjoy!

First stop:Trier

Oldest city in Germany that was founded before 16 BC. Here we are in front of the Porta Nigra:
