Greetings from Europe

So the trip has been great fun. Melissa and Caleb have been generous hosts. It's been amazing getting to know their quaint little German town. Germany is more beautiful than I could have imagined. We spent yesterday at the most amazing spa. The spa was 1/2 adults only. It was towels only saunas, aroma therapy, steam rooms, napping rooms, Turkish cold baths, restaurants, massage areas. It was ridiculously clean and stunningly beautiful. It was amazing. The other side was a family area with huge warm pools, wave pools, lap pools, indoor outdoor pools, kiddie play area and 2 outstanding water slides, gushing water for massage, and lots of areas to play it too was spotless. .

Last night we went to a Japanese restaurant. It was amazing. We had sushi. It was Mason's birthday. Rosie ate lots of raw fish. Myles opted for chicken and fried rice.

This morning we got up super early and caught the commuter train to Mannheim. We are well on our way to Heidelberg and Nuremberg and on through to Prague via double decker bus. We are on the top level and all of Germany is out these windows.

The kids have learned to use coin accessed bathrooms, how to try foods that stretch the imagination and to enjoy the candies. They have been incredible champs. It doesn't hurt that the trip has been idyllic.

Of course Mason, Caleb, Myles and Rosie are playing the Pokemon game.
