Kaiserslautern, Germany (Christmas Market)

Took the family to K-Town to enjoy their Christmas market on a rainy, Saturday afternoon!

The market is held in their downtown shopping area and is centered around the Gothic church on Schillerplatz square.  There were more than 50 vendors offering a variety of items, but let's face it...we went for the food!

Athens, Greece

We just got back from a four day trip to Athens so I could run my first marathon...and had an AMAZING time!  Check out my race adventure at http://melrunsamarathon.blogspot.de/.

Cochem, Germany (Medieval Castle Tour)

We took the kids to Cochem, Germany to go on the Medieval Dinner and Castle Tour through RTT today.  While we had a memorable time, the tour and dinner were not what we expected.

We had been wanting to take the kids to the Reichsburg Castle for a while now (specifically for the "Knight's Meal"); however, they are always in German.  We assumed (wrongly) that this tour/dinner was the same thing offered by the castle, just geared toward children and in English.

Nope.

Kaiserslautern, Germany (Dino Park)

We took the kids for a "Family Fun Day" at the Gartenschau in Kaiserslautern, Germany, today.  The weather was perfect for being outside and we had a blast!

Dachau and Berchtesgaden, Germany (Eagle's Nest)

We were very (lucky) and excited to visit the Eagle's Nest while in Berchtesgaden!
