Trip to Berlin..

In the years I have lived in Germany I have never visited Berlin until now. I had plenty of opportunities but at the time I just wasn't up for the drive (5 1/2 hours). But since the team was flying there we thought it would be fun for us to all go. Jeff has been there a few times, but never really got to see the city or any of the sights. So we decided to make it a little weekend vacation. Jane's father was visiting and he wanted to see Berlin as well. So Jane and Benson decided to rent a van, drive there and then we all drive back. As long as I have my co-pilot I'm up for any road trips. :) In case it hasn't been obvious this is my reason for living in Germany in the first place. :) This is my hubby in action, the one higher than everyone else, ha:)
A big win in Berlin was the first event of the night. Then afterwards we were all pumped to get to go to Hard Rock Cafe. It's so funny to see how excited we all get to eat some good ole American food :) Here are a few pics of us enjoying Hard Rock..In case you were all wondering, Faith was there with us but decided to sleep during the timeframe of the pictures being taken! :)
And the "Parents of the Year Award" goes to....drum roll please......
Bryan & Jane
Do you notice in this picture, there are 3 glasses of beer and a BABY bottle, HAHA :)

So after that entertainment we drove around a bit before heading to our hotel and saw the city at night. I have been told before that it's been compared to Manhatten and I find that to be true. It reallly does look like downtown Manhatten with of course the European twist to it.

Bright and early the next morning we all headed out to Dunkin Donuts. Once again some very HAPPY Americans were we. :) And our little journey begins!!

Here we are at the Berlin wall





















Trey seems to forget who he belongs to..





Here is the Brandenburg Gate












The Victory Column Reichstag Building
Checkpoint Charlie















And this is what Faith and Hudson did as usual

Here is the crew after our drive back home (minus myself and Trey)
Benson-I hope you enjoyed your little road trip with all of us, I know you were just thanking God you made it back to Ulm safe and sound. ha :)

And here was our driver home..

Lets just get one thing clear...that was Faith's bottle in the pic. I will confess to the beer but not the bottle! HA.
