Auf Wiedersehen



We took our last trip to Germany before the move, and it was so much fun! We love German food and will definitely miss being so close.

Some of the amazing things we ate...
German pretzels = unparalleled 
anything with a streusel topping
Bratwurst (and other Wurst options)
The best gelato we've ever had has been in Germany (not Italy), and the gelato stop we made in Heidelberg was no exception. Gavin's mango gelato wasn't enough for him, so he had a turn with Dad's strawberry + dark chocolate and Mom's raspberry + cinnamon. He especially loved the dark chocolate.



a real doner kebab --this one's dedicated to Ashley and Jared
reindeer goulash--possibly Jacob's favorite meal of all time
One of the gorgeous places we visited on this trip was Heidelberg. We were there last winter for the Christmas market, but it was too foggy to see anything. We're glad we got to see it this time--it's beautiful!
We also visited Burg Eltz, a castle so remote you have to park a few kilometers away and either hike or take a shuttle to the castle. It's in a beautiful setting, and the castle itself is beautiful and fairy tale-like.



We had a wonderful trip to Germany, and we're so glad we got to go one last time. Auf Wiedersehen!

I just tried to comment and it wouldn't let me! I'll try again. Thanks for the tribute! I am totally jealous :) The next time we make it to Europe I will try my hardest to not be pregnant so that I can really enjoy all of the food and all the walking! Jared was quick to tell me that it would be a "long, long, long" time before we'd be back, haha. Surprised?

WOW!!! The castle is amazing. You guys have had some awesome memories from your time in Europe. I know it is going to be hard for you guys to leave, but you're going to have some fantastic stories to tell Gavin when he's older. Once you get settled in the US, you are gonna have to start to scrapbook some of these photos & journal for the little man. :-)
