The first few days.....

Shannon and Bob made it here just fine on Tuesday afternoon. We went to the airport and met them...well, Alex and Chris missed seeing them come out of the gate since they had to Alex needed to go um, relieve himself.
Wednesday morning we managed to get them their access cards so we picked the boys up a little early from school and headed to Wurzburg. We did a little shopping and driving around since we rarely drive in actual Wurzburg...we just go to the Army post that's there to go to the big PX and eat Taco Bell.
Here are some pictures from the first couple of days.


On the way back from Wurzburg we stopped in Ochsenfurt...it's about 10 miles from here.


We found this bull in Ochsenfurt...Gabe didn't want to ride.

This is just a few miles from our home...It's in the middle of the road..we are still working on exactly what it is.


Thursday morning we got up and drove to Munich. We stopped long enough to go to the Hard Rock....


And then we went Edelweiss. We got a loft suite for Thursday night and this is the view from our balcony. The boys had fun swimming and I had a great time gambling. I actually managed to win something. You can ask Shannon and Bob all the details about their experience...I don't want to tell their stories.

This is what we saw after we left Edelweiss...

And then we got to Hohenschwangau to see Neuschwanstein...

This as a view of the castle...sorta near where the bus dropped us off.

This is the Marienbrücke...taken from Neuschwanstein.

This picture is to give you perspective. This was taken after we walked from the castle to the car.

Chris and Alex by the sign...

We are back in Illesheim tonight...okay, I think Gabe is really sick of castles now.
