Willkommen in Deutschland

After 4 straight months in Turkey, a trip to Germany was more than needed: Brats, Spatzle, Sauerkraut, Beer, Pretzels- need I say more. Curt had to work, but only 3 of the 10 days we were there.

Traveling with Carter was whirlwind, but a fun learning adventure. In his 10 day trip at 5 weeks old, he hit Heidelburg, Ramstein, Rothenburg, Kaiserslaughtern, Mainz, and Strasbourg-France. What a journey. Important tips: don't run out of diapers and always carry more than 1 extra pair of clothes!

1st plane ride was great (despite a $110 fine from the Turkish government for not having Carter's Residency Permit--Curt & Paula were not happy).

Heidelburg, Germany.

Happy Easter or shall we say Feliz Semana Santa. Forget the Easter Ham-break out the Mexican food!

Carter's 1st Easter was celebrated at Sankt Martin Cathedral in Kaiserslaughtern. Couldn't understand a lick of the message, but the music was good.

Strasbourg, France. What a cool city. A perfect mixture of German and French culture.

Rothenburg, Germany. One of neatest places I've ever visited. The city was not bombed during WWII so much of it remains a midieval village. Like Disneyland for adults.

The perfect end to our 1st Family Vacation.

(Note the socks on the hands--not only did Carter have to sleep on the floor a couple nights, dad kept the room TOO cold!)
