Ok, ok I know I'm totally behind in times and this is soooo last year but I haden't ever done this before and so I thought I'd give it a whirl! Well it didn't disappoint for sure cause I laughed and laughed and thought that you all would like to laugh and laugh with me!
Well we have made it back from our most amazing Germany trip. I can't even explain how much I loved every little thing about our trip. Germany is so amazing and I am in love with it. We were so upset when it was time to come home, but I guess all amazing vacations must come to an end. I even tried to lose our passports a couple of times just to insure that we could stay longer :) I am so sad to be home and I already miss that place terribly. I think I was meant to live there, or so I keep telling Brandon. Sure I don't know the language and don't have any idea how to get places and could get lost every 10 seconds, but I was so meant to be there. I think anyways. I'm glad that Brandon has been able to keep up with his German and was able to translate and talk to people just fine with no problems. I've spent a good few hours trying to get all my posts just right, so just to warn you there is like 4 new posts after this, so keep scrolling!!!! I decided that would be best than to make it into one massive post. We took tons of pictures and created many wonderful memories that we'll cherish for a long time. I count the days when we can go back again...probably not for a long long time though. But I can wait. I don't know if this will post in order, but enjoy!!!!!
We spent the remainder of our days in Frankfurt. This was the last area that Brandon served in. And I think it's the biggest city that he served in as well. I loved that we went at this time of year because they had their huge Christmas Markets going on!! This is something they do in quite a few of the city's and they line the streets with booths and food and christmas decor and everything else you can imagine. I was in Christmas heaven that is for sure. We spent most of the nights exploring around there and buying all sorts of fun trinkets. Brandon even had me trying lot's of German food and I even ordered something all by myself! I was so proud of myself. I have a huge desire to learn German now. There was something very invigorating about listening to Brandon speak German to everyone and knowing what they were saying to us. I keep telling him to just talk to me in German now. haha. So hot. Anyways. I didn't get very many pictures of the market, mainly cause we went there at night and so my pictures didn't really turn out. I did get some during the day though.
We went to some old Castle ruins during one of the days and I was loving every minute of this. Our first stop was at this really old castle that was literally in ruins. I was so excited to get in there and go exploring through it but sadly during November they only have it open on Saturday's and Sunday's. LAME! I tried to break in but Brandon had to pull me off the wall and assure me that it probably wasn't the best idea. I hate it when he's right.
We then went to the Heidelberg Castle, which is a huge castle that was built on the side of a mountain that overlooks the whole city. Gorgeous view. If I were to build a castle, I would've picked that spot. This was in better shape than the other one that we were at but it was equally if not cooler than the other. The size of this thing was mind blowing. It had huge courtyards and towers and secret passageways everywhere! They had them all blocked off for some unknown reason, gosh, you'd think they'd keep them open for crazy tourists like me who want to explore them. I told Brandon that I wanted to buy the castle and restore it and live there, but I don't think he was quite so found of the idea. Whatever, I don't need his help, I'll just do it myself. Better start saving up. haha 
We then headed over into France to visit Paris! I must say though, Paris isn't as amazing as I thought it was going to be. I think we may have just hit it wrong though cause we were there during the weekend and so it was insanely busy and it was cold the whole time and rainy so we didn't have to best experience there, but it was still fun. We went to Disneyland the first day that we were there and it was quite an adventure to experience a whole different Disneyland. It was way different than the one in Anaheim and it was so weird to not know where I was going. The park was PACKED. Which surprised us cause we thought for sure it wouldn't be busy cause it was so cold and wet, but we were wrong. We spent a good amount of time there but around 6 we decided to head out cause it was starting to down pour and got very very cold so we decided to leave while we were still having fun. Instead of staying and being miserable. We were only about 20 minutes away from our hotel but lucky for us (ha) we got caught in horrible traffic and it ended up taking us a little over 2 hours to get back. We were not very happy campers to say the least. We didn't tour a whole lot there due to not having a ton of time and we decided we really wanted to go back to Germany cause France was weird. So we went and saw the Eiffel Tower and drove around and saw a few sights and then headed back.
We didn't get a whole lot of shots of the tower due to the weather. It was pretty rainy that morning and so we just got a few shots and packed our camera away so it wouldn't get ruined. The had this pretty park that was surrounding the tower that was really neat to walk through and take some pictures of.
After a few days in Berlin we hit the car once again and traveled to another area where Brandon served his mission. I fell in love with Bonn the minute we walked out of our hotel. Everything about it was amazing and beautiful. Our hotel was right next to this awesome river that we got to walk along and enjoy the sunrise. 
See what I mean? Beautiful.
We walked thru town a bit and we did a few things there. They have a really cool museum of Germany's history that we spent quite a while in. It had a lot of neat things from World War II and just a bunch of stuff about their culture. We also spent lot's of time riding back and forth on the same wrong subway trying to find the Haribo Candy Factory. But once we finally found it it was so worth it. I've never quite enjoyed candy as much as I have in Germany. Sooo good. I wanted to buy the whole store. Bonn has a lot of really cool buildings and sites. Can't explain how awesome everything was so here are some pictures!
