We took a short hike there, but didn't tell the boys to expect the castle around a bend.
As they were constantly running in front of us, I think they were surprised when they came in view of it!
We made them take the tour and of course they exaggerated their boredom, thirst, hunger, you-name-it, the entire time. I think Rhett enjoyed the creepy baby portraits where baby faces were painted on big-kid bodies.
Those bratwursts sticking out of the buns! Ha.
After this, we took a short trip to Cochem, a town on the Moselle River.
And can you believe it: as we left here, our last stop on our big tour, it started to rain. For the first time in 17 days. The weather was warm, but seasonal. We lucked out big time, in so many ways!
And that does it. No more pictures. I'll have to do a final wrap-up, but that will have to be later. The boys start school tomorrow! AAAHHHHHHHH!
Although we weren't able to spend as much time with you as we would have liked to, it was just nice having you here. We're so glad that 2/3 of our family made it to Europe, but we are also glad the Ben and Emily are close enough that we see them regularly, too, when we're home. Thanks for coming!

ReplyDeleteLooks like a great way to finish off your European trip - castle-ing. :) So awesome.
It looks like a hamburger bun, no?
This whole trip looks and sounds amazing. Except for the whiny boys, of course. ;) I love that you got to do this!
ReplyDeleteSeriously AMAZING......
