It was very foggy and rainy when we visited Neuschwanstein

We went to Nürnberg specifically because the zoo had dolphins.
The girls LOVE dolphins

So many memories of seeing a lot of these places so long ago. It will be so fun to go see them again. Dad said that you would like to go back someday, well if three or four years is long enough you should come when my family goes and be our tour guide!!:)

Andrea, that sounds awesome. I would love to do that. I'm actually thinking of coming along with Danielle and her family in September as well, if they don't mind.
