Germany

We got back from an eight day trip in Germany yesterday. Andy had to go to Stuttgart for work and Claire and I decided to tag along.

We spent the first weekend visiting friends in Weisbaden, touring the cute town, and going to two "fests", the summer fest and the wine fest.



We spent the rest of the trip in Stuttgart visiting the downtown area, hanging out in the town square, going to the zoo, and playing tourist.

Claire is really starting to love animals, too. From the pigeons in the square (which she calls "buh") to the polar bear in the zoo.

We also visited a town just north of Stuttgart called Ludwigsburg, which has a beautiful palace and an amazing garden.

We didn't have a chance to go in the palace itself, but the garden had all kinds of neat things for kids. Many of the displays were nursery story themed, but it also included a small boat trip and a few pettable goats!
