Germany Part 1

So this is a long overdue post, but I thought I would give you a quick rundown of our trip to Germany – which was awesome by the way. Be warned – this post contains an above average amount of selfies. Sorry. And yes, I waved to Aubrey as we flew over Kansas.

Day one: arrived to winter wonderland – there was a weird freak snowstorm the day before which left everything perfectly blanketed in snow for our arrival.
Snowy Garmish Snow!
We stayed in the most adorable village called Garmish Partenkirchen

Here was our view! Hello Alps! So cute.

(obvi this pic was taken after the snow melted)

Day two: bright and early hopped in the car and headed to Schloss Neuwchwinstein. You know, the fairytale castle. Well, it was AMAZING! So beautiful.
Husband and I hiked for like 40 minutes just for this view

But once you go up…you have to go down. We got a little lost because we decided to go “off the beaten path.” Here I am just monkeying around

But for real – the forest was so dense and beautiful. I was obsessed.

We dined in Austria for lunch (doesn’t that sound fancy?) and then headed back to Garmisch to explore the village and of course, drink beer.

Day three: headed in to Munich to visit one of my Palaces

Doesn’t the sky look fake? The weather was absolutely perfect our whole trip. Brisk and sunny.
No trip to Munich is complete without hitting the Hofbrauhaus

We drank jumbo beers and had a blast.

Day four: drove FOREVER to Heidleburg. The Autobon was terrifying (sorry Dad if you are reading this you did a really good job driving).

(we became obsessed with the exit sign and would all say “AUSFAHRT” really loud when we saw one – we are weird)

Made it to Heidleburg in one piece – checked into our Hotel

did some shopping & posed under a sign for #1 reader

Saw a super cool castle

and took in the view

After our tour of the city, we headed up to the wine region to an adorable city called Rudsheim. It was so cute. Vineyards everywhere – very charming.

(sorry about the bad pic – we took it from the back seat of a moving car)

There we hopped a river boat and cruised up the Rhine – look how cute Husband looks. He loved boating.

It was FREEZING on the boat

and it rained on us, but we still had a blast.

Anyways, that’s it for now. Stay tuned for Germany part 2.
