East Coast

Last fall we took a short trip to the East Coast to visit my/our (sister Tory and her hubs came too!) grandparents in southern Maryland, on the Potomac River. Like, on it. And before heading out into the country we spent about 24 hours in DC paying our respects to our capital. And the Capitol.

*We sustained only minor injuries on this trip.

Baden Baden

We spent our last full day in Germany exploring Baden Baden, a posh spa town in the northern foothills of the Black Forest (Baden actually means "bath"). We explored the tiny cobblestone streets lined with boutiques and cafes, treated ourselves to a couple hours in the local baths, and eventually parted ways with the family who continued on their journey. Francis and I shared an early evening cappuccino and piece of pie before our drive back to Konstanz through the aptly named Black Forest.

We can't wait to go back.
