On the Road…

Matt read Mercy Watson to me up in the front seat while we drove from Bavaria to Austria to Rothenberg. And then we got into a stau.  Luckily it didn’t take too long but it was fun to be reminded about them as we drove on the Autobahn. We just love traveling in Europe.

European Expedition–So happy to be back in Rothenberg

Chris found us the CUTEST hotel right on one of the main streets inside the city walls of Rothenberg.  It was the perfect hotel and it just made returning to Rothenberg that much more magical. 

We drove our van right onto the cobblestone streets and right in front of the hotel.  We unloaded our bags and got checked in.  We got two rooms right next to each other.  One for the boys and one for the girls.  Then out to explore the city…

We wandered along the city wall for a long time.  It’s just so medieval and magical – and holds so many memories for us.

Back in the city square we ordered some pizzas from a favorite restaurant and sat on the steps to eat and wait for our 8:00 Night Watchman’s Tour.

Several of us had been on the Night Watchman’s Tour at least once but it was so fun to go again.  We knew exactly where to go to get a nice spot right close to the guide – the same guide who’s been doing the tour for 20 years – every night.

It was cute to see Matthew just walk right along side him to the next spot.

What a great day.  The girls and I wrote in our journals for a bit in our room before falling asleep.
