We woke up this morning early enough again so that we could head out
to the Neuschwanstein castle! WOW! So amazing! There were lots of
people there, but we have been really lucky this trip! Everywhere
we've been there hasn't been that many people compared to other times
of the year apparently! We have been really lucky! So we got there
just in time- after about an hour and a half drive- and we took a bus
up to the top and went through a short tour of the castle. The castle
isnt' that old- it was built in the late 1800's, but it is still way
cool! It's a castle for heavens sake! The boys would have loved it!
It was really neat to see all of the different rooms and things that
they built for the castle. It was interesting though, because it took
them a really long time to build this castle, and Ludwig II, who the
castle was built for, actually died when they were building it, so
they never actually finished it! But what they did finish was so
neat. So we were able to see that, and take some great photos of the
scenery around there. On our way home, it started to rain SO HARD! I
really don't think that I have ever seen it rain so hard in my life!
We were on the freeway and couldn't hardly see out of the windshield
it was coming down so hard. It was a nice respite from the heat
though. Instead of going straight home, we stopped at the REAL
(that's the name of it!) grocery store so that we could all stock up
on some German chocolate and candy before we went home! Oh man- we
have so much, and I am SO happy about it! :) The candy and chocolate
here are amazing, of course.
We came home from Neuschwanstein needing to pack, so pack we did! I
can't believe that it's time to go home already. I'm so sad to leave
my parents, but really actually pretty excited to see my cute kids. I
miss them lots and lots. Actually, as I type this, everyone is out to
dinner- but I decided to stay here, because the tiny brother was NOT
up for it! Poor little tyke is SO tired, and really needs to be in a
great mood for the airplane ride tomorrow! No grouchy boy for me! He
is so sick of being in his car seat. He really has been the best baby
ever here. Seriously! He gets kind of sad here at the end of the
trip when we put him in his car seat, and if he has been there for too
long- but otherwise, he is absolutely amazing! What an angel. I sure
love him. It has really made it easier for me not to miss my other
kids too bad, because I have had him to worry about, and take care of.
Cute little tink tink! What an amazing trip this has been!
