These next four pictures are of our time spent in Rothenburg Ob Der Tauber. It was a fantastic experience and very beautiful! When I was 16 years old I promised myself I would go here some day. I'm grateful I married a man who has fulfilled so many of my dreams in so many ways.


Thanks to Adam who really wanted to go down some random hidden away staircase that led off the main road we discovered the outer wall to the city! Here the boys are poking their heads out between the battlement.

This is the clock tower I had seen in pictures when I was young.

Another clock tower in the town. Me and the boys.

Caleb and Adam throwing rocks in the moat and a fabulous Snow White type building behind them. This was Saint Wolfgangs church which also served as an outer wall defense--hence the moat.

The next three pictures are of the grounds at the Resident Palace in Wurtzburg.

Here we are at the Resident Palace in Wurzburg. The grounds were beautiful and it was a very nice day. Wurzburg is the first town that you come to if you are going to drive down the "Romantic Road". This stretch of road is named for it's quaint villages and majestic castles, cathedrals, palaces, and churches. It begins in Wurtzburg and ends at Neuschwanstein Castle in Fussen near the border of Austria. We did not enjoy our tour of the Palace due to extremely rude staff but we really really loved Rothenburg and we are glad our site seeing ended there instead of here!

Caleb at Cub Scout Day Camp doing Archery and Guns. Frank was SO proud!

This picture was taken in Paige Johnsons backyard down near Ramstein Air Base Germany. We went to go visit her and Aunt DeAnn and Uncle Tony.

Joshua is a very busy and happy baby! He is lots of fun to have in our home. He is 14 months old in these pictures. In the first picture of Joshua you can see a little bit of the French Bulldog we are dog sitting for a friend while she is depolyed.
