We were supposed to go to Montreal, via Boston, for the U2 concert in July. That trip was postponed until next summer. So instead of going to Boston we decided to go to GERMANY! I know right.......Boston vs Germany!
But our trip to Montreal wouldnt even happened anyways......it is a long story! After the trip got cancelled and we decided to go to Germany we got busy getting Ainslee's passport. As I filled out her online application, I just happened to get a bit curious and take a look at Kaylee's passport. After that i noticed I had trouble finding mine and Marcus'. After a little searching I found them, and noticed that they both expired 2 days before! Which means even if we wouldve have tried to go to Montreal for the concert we wouldnt have even gotten to go! So I got busy getting our applications filled out as well and all 3 of us had to get our passports. Then the planning really began.....actually it didnt but that sounds good. We had conversation after conversation with Marcus' godparents, who we where going to see, about our trip and what we were going to do. I managed to find a STEAL for a rental car, and then found out my dad paid for like 82% of it. You see while we were going to be in Germany my parents were going to be on a trip of their own to Alaska and the northwest coast. And because they were staying in one of our time shares dad offered me A LOT of money to which we put towards out rental car. Then we got our plane tickets and were on the way.......well kinda......after taking over 9 hours just to get out of Memphis! That's right we were flying standby with 2 young children, what were we thinking, oh yeah we were saving $2000+ in air fare. It was so worth it. We did a LOT of bonding on this trip, starting before we even left our home town. We made memories that will last a lifetime (as long as I have the pictures, hahaha).
We flew into Frankfurt (a day late), and the vacation began by all 4 of us sleeping about 17 hours the first night! Thats right we all 4 slept in until 1pm, and we werent even trying to. We were so worn out from the trip, we needed the rest! So after sleepfest 2010 the fun began. For the girls the most memorable thing was probably the enormous amounts of gummis (and other treats). Bernie and Karl Heinz was spoiling them every chance they got. But the spoiling didnt end with the girls......they completely spoiled us as well. They sent all 4 of us to south Germany, Bavaria to be exact, Schwangau to be even MORE exact, to a resort spa for 3 nights. We had a 4 course meal each night and a buffet breakfast each morning. All while enjoying the exquisite views of the Alps. I can not even begin to explain the beauty that surrounded us! After Schwangau we headed over to the Bodensee and got a room at a guest house. We went to a
We experienced so much in Germany, but we felt like we only saw a small (VERY small) percentage of what Germany has to offer! We will definitely be going back. But it is safe to say we will be waiting until the girls get a little older.
Here are some of the pictures from the trip. I tried narrowing them down, but fear i didnt do that great of a job. If you are friends with me on FB skip the pictures because they are the same ones i already posted on their.
