The Weekend!

Hello all ... feels like I just blogged yesterday but in reality my last post was Thursday - I guess they say time flies when you are having fun and that we are!! Our last day in Cologne was bittersweet - saying good-bye to my grandparents is alway difficult, but this time since it will probably be the last time I see my grandfather alive, it proved to be even more difficult than usual. That aside, we did have a really nice last day with my grandmother and were even able to take her out of the house for lunch and an afternoon in the city which is something she has not done in a very long time as she is always home caring for my grandfather.

Later that evening we had another great dinner and evening with the Niedecken´s as well as my cousin Angela and her husband and daughter Sofie at the famous Haus Töller in Cologne. Mia, Daniel and I all enjoyed a "Hämmchen" which is a slow cooked pig leg ... sounds kind of gross but was REALLY good!!

Early Saturday morning we loaded up the car and headed in direction Nürnberg to meet up with our friends Sarah and Deaner ... none of us had ever been there, but boy am I glad we went! Such a beautiful city and we had such a great time touring around together. There are so many pictures I want to upload from the weekend in Nürnberg but I am afraid I may still be sitting at the computer tomorrow if I do that! Sunday morning we continued our trip down to Munich ... and unfortunately, have spent our entire four days here in the rain!! So lame! Regardless, our four days here have been fun ones, and I will update you on those in my next post. For now, enjoy the pictures I have uploaded - Mia is calling!!
