Lots of fun with my parents

You will notice I have posted 4 different slide shows from when my parents were here last week. Starting with the top one here is where they were taken:

top: Interlaken, Switzerland - We went to a cave in the side of the mountain, then we went to glacial falls (all the pictures of waterfalls), and they worked our way up to the top of the Swiss Alps. The weather was perfect the entire time. I did enjoy Switzerland, but I doubt it is a place that I will return to. It has wonderful mountains, and is beautiful, but it is very expensive. And other then the Alps, which I have seen now, it is nothing great. I can definitely check that off my list of things to do in Europe. Oh that is the other thing, I found people in Switzerland not very friendly.

Next: Fussen, Germany - This place was awesome. It is a small town in southern Germany. We got to our hotel, which was kind of outside the city, and it was wonderful. The view was amazing and the people were so friendly. Neuschwanstein was an awesome castle. It was so big. it was truly a fantasy castle. In Fussen we also ate some wonderful Germany food as well. I would suggest this little trip to anyone. But you really don't need to stay long.

Next: Potsdam, Germany - This is a small town outside of Berlin. It was the place where the royalty of Berlin would go to vacation in the summer. They have an amazing garden area with loads of palaces and large buildings. When we were there, none of the trees or flowers had bloomed. I can't wait to go back this summer when it is even more beautiful. If you are coming to Berlin, I suggest you go to Potsdam.

Final: Berlin, Germany - We took a tour of Berlin, which was wonderful. I learned so much about Berlin on this tour. We saw lots of things, many I had already seen, but it was nice to experience it with my parents. My parents said if they come back they would just like to stay in Berlin. They felt like there was so much to do here, which is true.

Overall it was a great time and I am so happy they enjoyed themselves.
