The 'rents have arrived!

So, my parents arrived on Sunday evening. So fun to pick them up in Luxenbourg and be with them on their first viewing of Europe. I got to introduce them to the Autobahn also. Bet they didn't see that coming when they taught me to drive back in the day. Whoo hoo!

Monday we took them on a stroll through downtown Trier. We snacked on pretzels and sausages and the fun french fries that come with the ity bity fork and the ketchup AND mayo on top. Even some ice cream snuck in somehow.

We came back to the house and Casey and Maya dazzled Poppa Jim with their trampoline skills while Mark, my Mom, Julia and I navigated the Big German grocery store, Kaufland. My head is always spinning afrer trying to figure out the products in German. Oh my.

Yesterday we set off on the train for the quaint litttle town of Saarburg. There is a waterfall right in the middle of the city. And we toured an old bell factory. Poppa Jim and Casey had their usual sillyfest. We love it.

Sorry this post is lacking in spice. I am rushing as my Mom, Casey and I are headed off to Paris for 2 days. Yes, this was decided all of last night. So fun to be a 3 hour train ride away. Mark and Maya and my Dad are headed towards Frankfurt to do some World War II sleuthing. Au revoir!
