| Since I didn't end up getting to go to Vulcano Island in Italy, I talked Bryan into doing a little hike up to Parkstein (which was a Volcano - over a million years ago) - you can see it straight ahead in the blurry photo... |
 |
| At the top of it is a cute little church with a beautiful view... |
 |
| We saw this on the way up and had to giggle (even though not one of our kids was with us, it still made us laugh) |
 |
| On the way up, they had each of the stations of the cross... |
 |
| Before getting there, we had read that the hike might take 2 hours round trip - but when we got there - is more like a 20 minute hike up :-) |
 |
| The church is adorable! |
 |
| and the view of the little town is so pretty too! |
 |
| ...and I smile because when you zoom in, you can almost always find a soccer field in even the smallest of villages here in Germany (oh and always solar panels too!) |
 |
| and a goofy selfie.. |
 |
| a nice spot for a rest... |
 |
| This was the rock formation from the Volcano so long long ago... |
 |
| a photo of what it used to look like a few hundred years ago... |
 |
| Another cool view from the formation of the volcano... |
 |
| I took this picture because it really epitomizes for me the Germans...you have the ridiculously old stuff everywhere, yet the Germans LOVE ultra modern architecture...This was a house on the way down the hill... |
 |
| Easter eggs hanging at "Neptune" in Bamberg... |
 |
| Bryan, Mia and I went for a hike in Bamberg - the trees were in full bloom at the top of the Michaelsberg Mountain... |
 |
| This made me laugh - we took a selfie and check out psycho Bryan... |
 |
| She is a little crazy herself :-) |
 |
| When we left Bamberg, we brought one of Mia's very best friends' (Magdalena) home with us for the week (Mia is on vacation for 2 weeks). Even though they hardly ever see one another - they are still such good friends! |
 |
| And Mia started a dog walking business (ok, not really, but we will just go with that...) |
 |
| This is our new friend who is so adorable!!! |
 |
| The girls LOVED walking him! |
 |
| Camden's friend from Bamberg also came for the weekend and he cooked for us!!! 16 years old and he loves to cook - definitely not my child :-) Super Delicious!!! |
 |
| And lastly, after Prom pictures, we had to stop at the grocery store before everything shut down completely for 2 days (I had to take a picture of this in the grocery store - any excuse to produce beer - here is the Easter Bunny version :-) Once again, gotta love the Germans!!! |
