toward Rothenburg, the Christmas capital of Germany. We arrived,
found a yummy lunch (thanks to Rick Steves book!), and decided to do
some shopping (pic). The weather was awful- sleet, rain mixed with
snow, hail...and even when it's not precipitating, it is stinking
cold. That, paired with us being tired, and also Mama G having
different ideas about 'shopping' than Daddy G, lead to a less than
lovely visit to Rothenburg.
We did a little walk around part of the city wall (other pic).
We left Rothenburg, and drove further south to Gunzberg, home of
Legoland, Germany! We found a great little hotel, walked to the
little town center and had Chinese, and now are settling in for the
night. It's the first time all 5 of us are sleeping in one room on
this trip, so it has a bit of a slumber party feeling! Very fun.
Tomorrow, bright and early, we will visit Legoland (praying for decent
weather), and then drive back to Hochwald for one more night.
Auf Wiedersehen!

Very fun! I hope the weather cooperates for you so that you can all enjoy Legoland! The kids will love it, I'm sure. For what it's worth, our nice weather only lasted about a day and a half. Now it's back to gray skies. Ggrrr.
Christmas capitol of Germany???? I am booking a flight out tonight! Did Joel have so much shopping there for his fav mother-in-law that he didn't want to leave????

I'm so sad the weather was so crummy there. . .it is such a beautiful little town. We got to stay in a place right on the wall that looked out over the valley. I didn't know it was the Christmas capitol! Guess I will have to go back! One week left. . .
S- That is where Ty and I lived for 5 months! Cool little spot.
