Last year, when Matt returned from his deployment, we went on a driving tour of the Rhein River. So many castles, so litte time. Along the route I got caught up in taking pictures of flowers or random things I thought were interesting. I never posted our trip, so I thought no better time than now. So, I will first post my "pretty stuff", and then, once I identify all the castle's in my photo's I will post the good "stuff."

The weather in Germany has been questionable since January. The sun has been non-existant with a plethora of freezing rain. So much fun.
This past weekend the sun finally made an extended appearance so we went for a nice Sunday drive. There are so many side roads, farm roads, and tiny villages scattered through out the german countryside you can always find something new. With a bottle of water, baby carrots and Reese's Pieces for snacks we transversed the narrow roads and countless switchbacks. Along our journey we had to stop by this little pond and do some fashion photos of our newest baby.



She drives like a dream and is so luxurious. I am so glad we decided to adopt her. I know she will be sad in October when we leave, no more autobahn. As for myself, I know I will miss the autobahn with no speed limit. I tried going 75 mph once, but it didn't last very long. 100-120 mph, now that is a nice cruising speed. When we get back to the states, cruise control is going to be my protection against speeding tickets.
