Luxembourg City, Luxembourg

We are so fortunate to live in such close proximity to other countries in Europe. It only took us an hour and a half to drive to this beautiful city. I can't wait to go back there in the summer and explore more of its culture, sights, architecture, people and yes of course... food! We had a few stops in mind when we looked up the sights prior to going... but the day was a little cool (and Liz and I weren't dressed very warm) and well... with kids, I guess one has to improvise and be flexible. We walked through old Luxembourg, visited the castle, saw some churches, went to the caverns carved out of rock that were apart of an old fort and ate the best cheese fondue I've ever had! Between Liz and I, we pretty much finished the whole fondue, It was pretty much divine! Lol! Luxembourg is definitely one of those places we could go back a few times and never see it all. 

I adored the architecture, the cobble stone streets and the fact that people spoke french! And I can't wait to get one of those giant sized meringues next time! Love how everything I do is centered around food! lol!

Heidelberg Castle Trip

Heidelberg, Germany

We ventured out to Heidelberg on Wednesday with the whole gang. We've been to Heidelberg a few time, but never up to the castle. One thing Steve wanted to do while he was here was to see a castle... this was the perfect one. It is so beautiful. It is amazing to think that it was built so long ago. I could just imagine Bella living in the olden days as a princess (wearing princess dresses, tiaras and acting all proper)LOL! 
It was a neat adventure. 
We visited the Heidelberg Christmas Market afterwards... no pics from that though.

While We've Been Waiting!

All the towns around here have little carnivals with rides and fabulous street vendors. Last Weekend we went to the Landstuhl Carnival... Of course, Bella and Ethan's favorite attraction was the rides. Mine, was the food!
 


 Yesterday Ann, Liz the kids and I headed back to Bernkastel-Kues. We walked through jam packed antique shops, ate lunch at a German bakery, had gelato for dessert and enjoyed the sights of this beautiful quaint little German town. 


  
 

 I love all the doors and windows here in Europe. They are so beautiful and unique. Here are a few of my favorite from this trip.

The kids were totally tuckered out from our adventures.
