Trip to Paris!

Well with the good comes the bad, and this trip proved just that!  Will and I are choosing just to remember the good, though.  We saw almost everything we wanted and tasted all the musts.  It was a bit overcrowded because of the holiday so it wasn't quite as romantic as I was expecting, but it was definitely an adventure.  I managed to forget our itinerary in the hotel room the first day, I got spit on as soon as we got into the city, and we were unable to pick up our Paris Pass.  Minor set backs, right?  Once we got over our initial shock we ran with spontaneity, though!     Everything was gorgeous...including the language, which I happen to know very little of.  The trip wasn't what we planned at all, but it was a good time.  Here are some pictures of our adventure! 

Christmas 2009

Please forgive me for not posting in a while.  I am going to try to be better this year about keeping everyone up to date with what is going on with us.  Christmas wasn't quite the same this year, but it never is when you are first starting out I guess.  The important thing was that we were together!  Our collection of decorations is slowly growing.  We received our first nativity set from Mama K that we absolutely love. Willow Tree is AWESOME.  We also added a german touch to our tree with the little straw ornaments that we got from a local grocery store.  Also, Will and I decided that hot chocolate is a must on Christmas Eve, hence our first Christmas tradition.  Since it was just the two of us we took a trip up to Nurnberg by train and checked out the Christmas market where they have tons of neat things to eat, drink, and buy.  We met a few new friends and walked around for a bit and had a cup of  Gluwein, which is one of my new favorites by the way.  It is a warm wine that the germans drink in a coffee mug around the holidays.  Can you say yummy?


Anyway we topped off the day by opening presents that night and getting up just in time Christmas morning to watch the parade on t.v.  This is when we decided our next tradition would be to have pancakes.  It was a Great day!  We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!
