well, we all felt like it was just confirmation of what we already knew: we all must be related somehow--we just can't find it! LOL
Bean and I drove up to the Hauptbahnhof in Frankfurt to pick them up on Monday. I have to say that is the worst labeled bahnhof I've been in so far. The parking garage may be attached to the bahnhof, but there are NO signs telling you how to get to the train station from the parking garage! Bean and I found a staircase (that, strangely, went nowhere) that must be where all the socks that have disappeared from all the dryers in the world have gone to die their linty deaths. Ugh! Luckily, we finally managed to find our friends! We caravaned back to our house and then we went to the base for pizza. Auntie, O, Sir COB and Princess CC had been having a holiday in the Netherlands before they came to see us and there hadn't been much to eat there other than herring. Needless to say, the kids were thrilled for pizza.
The next day, we headed out to Rothenburg ob der Tauber. It is one of my favorite places in Germany and I knew they would love it too. Sir COB is very into knights and stuff and Rothenburg is a walled city that has stood since medieval times.
You can still walk the walls of the town:
The next day, we headed out to the Schloss Heidelberg. We managed to find a great parking spot up near the castle, so Princess CC's legs wouldn't stop working like they did when we girls visited Greenwich last October. Sir COB and Princess CC call Bean their "big sister" and it's easy to see why people wouldn't question that!
Auntie read up on the history of Schloss Heidelberg and gave us a briefing:
Damsel in distress? Do you need to be rescued, Princess Bean?
Pretty in pink roses . . .
It was a GREAT visit with them!!
TTFN~
