Oma and Opa in München

Oma and Opa came for a visit to Munich on the last weekend of November. And we made sure they had a great time. It is Glühwein (mulled wine) season in Munich. Needless to say, we went to the Viktualien market as well as to the Eiszauber festival at the Stachus square where the grownups sampled delicious Glühwein and the kids Kinderpunch. We took them to Starnberg to meet Karla's Aunt Sonny, Uncle Erich, and Cousin Selma and her fiance Basti. We crisscrossed Munich on foot, by subway and bus to show them as much of our new home city as possible (Oma and Opa probably fell right into bed every time after we dropped them off at their hotel). Dinner and beers at the famous Hofbräuhaus was a must. We went with Oma and Opa to the Olympia Park, the Sea Life aquarium, and capped off the day with a view from the Fernsehturm (TV tower). It was a great weekend.
Did we mention that Maggie was there? She was in Augsburg for the weekend, and took the train to Munich to visit us for half a day!

Berlin

Jenna and Samuel on Tour

 

 

We hopped on a high-speed train with our parents and went to Berlin, where we saw awesome things and had a lots of fun. Even better, we met Maggie! She came for a day and became part of our adventure. We toured the Reichstag (German Parliament Building) at the Government Centre, the Brandenburg Gate, the famous Ku'damm shopping boulevard, the television tower at Alexanderplatz, the Sony Centre at Potsdammer Platz with 3-D movie (Hotel Transylvania) and Legoland Discovery Centre, the Berlin Wall, and much more...
