Four years ago, my husband and I wanted to do something for our 25th anniversary, so we decided to take a trip to Germany. Our youngest daughter was there for a semester of study, and it was a good excuse to go visit. We landed in Frankfurt on April 27th. We picked up our rental car equipped with a GPS (no worries with directions now) and headed to our first destination, Bacharach, a little village on the Rhine River. Unfortunately, the GPS was in German (code for we made a few wrong turns).
After checking into our hotel, we grabbed some lunch (I had a "salad" and my husband had a brat).
Nothing like a little gelato.
The temperature was in the 80's and the sun was shining, so we jumped on a boat to cruise down the Rhine. (Katie was catching a train to Bacharach after her last class, so we had a few hours until she would arrive.)
The scenery was incredible, with the twists and turns of the river and the castles and vineyards on the hillsides.
We got off the boat at St. Goar and caught the train back to Bacharach. Katie got in around 7:30. I can't tell you how excited this mom was to see her baby daughter after four months. Now the trip could begin.
