Trier, Germany

Last weekend we decided to go on a last minute trip. Our first stop was Trier, Germany which is the oldest city in Germany. I LOVED this city. The city was bustling (but wasn't too terribly crowded), music was playing in the town square, ice cream shops everywhere, bright buildings, etc. Wouldn't mind going back again. The weather was absolutely perfect and the girls were awesome. Amphitheatre- I was really looking forward to seeing this. Unfortunately it had closed about 15 minutes before we got there. I was able to sneak one little picture through the front gate. Oh well. I'm sure we will visit again at some point.

Hauptmarkt- Trier's main marketplace. Tons of cute buildings, TONS of ice cream shops and great shopping.

Just some German nuns

Trier Palace

The palace grounds... not sure what is up with the posing

Imperial Roman Baths

Yummy fried balls with sugar on them. SOOOO good

Can't remember what this was....

St. Peter's Cathedral

Market Fountain

Another picture of the main square

Black Gate (Porta Nigra). Pretty awesome entrance into the city.

After all our adventures for the day, we sat down outside at a little pasta place. When we were finishing up, I decided to feed Meika. I went to go and burp her and she projectile vomited over my shoulder about a foot and onto the ground. A poor single guy was sitting right next to me at a table and was staring at her right when it happened. I have never seen such a disgusted face in my life. It was priceless. Abe and I got a good laugh. After we finished up, we got in the car and drove to our hotel in Luxembourg. More on our Luxembourg adventures in my next post!

Feels (felt) like spring...

A couple weeks ago we had the nicest weather and it felt so much like Spring. The kids and I wanted to be outside all day long and enjoy the nice weather. I am so thankful that we have such an awesome yard here the girls can play in. It is huge, pretty private and we can watch the sun set from our back porch every night. One of those nice evenings over a week ago, I was making dinner and the girls and Abe were playing outside together. It was too cute not to document, so I had to grab my camera and take a handful of pictures. This was my view out the kitchen window.....

Easter

About a week ago there was a big Easter Egg hunt and festivities on base. The girls were so excited about the hunt and love that there were ponies to ride there They were both wearing the perfect attire... cowboy boots.














On Sunday we had a nice Easter. We went to church and then when we came back the Easter bunny had hidden some eggs around our yard. The girls had fun running around finding them and then we had dinner with some friends that night.
