Since our passports were taken by the consulate in Frankfurt in order to process Rhett's passport application, we have been forced to explore more of Germany during my parent's visit. We've tasted a variety of German specialities, toured palace halls, and walked the steps of church steeples for the last few days, all of which have left me with the conclusion that I love Germany even more than I did prior to these recent explorations. Here are some of our excursions...
Waldenbuch, Germany
Our visit here started with a desire for Ridder Sport chocolate which is produced here in the town. We thought the town was so cute that we returned the next day for lunch.
Another day we had planned to go to Triberg, however, our GPS led us astray and we ended up in Hornberg first. We had a typical Swabian lunch... kasespatzel and then found our way to our original planned destination.
Nonni & Rhett at lunch... the waitresses loved his jeans.
Last time I went to this waterfall... it was frozen. Thankfully it was a little bit warmer this time around.
Oh and here's Rhett and the Triberg waterfall... engrossed by its beauty and magnitude.
In Triberg, we also stopped to see the largest Cuckoo clock in the world.
Here is Rhett at the clock... amazed.
Our next outing didn't take us too far from home... we spent the afternoon at the Herbst Fest in Vaihingen with friends.
Rhett thoroughly enjoyed himself (do you see a pattern...?).
He got to spend some time with his first girlfriend, Lauren Olivia [their due dates were originally 6 days apart, however, Lauren was born before her due date and is now 2 weeks older than Rhett... good thing he loves older women.]
We visited ULM, Germany so we could see the tallest church steeple in the world... and climb it. 762 steps [um, 4 weeks postpartum might I add]. Rhett and Nonno watched from below.
We rewarded ourselves with gelato sundaes because we deserved it.
Lastly, we ended the afternoon with a peek at the Danube.
And THIS... Rhett really had to see.
Check back soon for Rhett's 1 month birthday!
