Nuremburg, Rotenberg and Frankfurt, Germany

The last couple of days of our trip were spent in Nuremburg, Rotenberg and then driving back to the airport we stopped in Frankfurt for a couple of hours.  Nuremburg and Rotenberg are absoluetly charming.  Rotenberg is really cool because it has a stone wall that surrounds the city.  Anyways, here are the rest of the pictures:



Another big Christmas pyramid



The kids loved the snow--Ethan and Kailey loved to throw snowballs at me!

Love the German architecture


At night the markets were so gorgeous with the lights

Nuremburg is famous for these plum people--they make people out of dried plums!





Here is Rotenberg--again it is really quaint and charming!







This clock had people come out of it--it was pretty fun to watch.



My kids love to have their pictures taken!

Another merry-go-round!

Driving back to the airport we had about a 4 1/2 hour drive, so we broke it up and stopped in Frankfurt at the natural history museum.  The kids loved it and Kailey, as usual, was full of questions and Eric ended up explaining evolution to her and she just was fascinated by it!  The museum had tons of cool dinosaur fossils, which was fun to see.  Ethan is learning about prehistoric times in school so he had all interesting facts to tell us!




They had tons of cool dinosaur fossils.

Looking back at our pictures as I have posted this makes me realize just how much fun we had.  This seriously was one of the best vacations we have ever done.  Germany during Christmas time is magical and charming.  I highly recommend visiting!!  Hopefully we will make it back to Germany again sometime!!
