{sights from the car window}

The drive back to Italy from Germany was beautiful through the mountains. Here are some pictures of the castles I took from the car window:





We are so excited to be living in Europe again! What an experience for all of us!
Enjoy :)

{Legoland- Germany}

While Mark was working, the kids and I went to Legoland. It was about 1 1/2hrs. from Stuttgart. What a FUN day!



They had all the major European cities (here are just a few) created out of Legos--AMAZING!!!










The kids had fun riding the rides too............

















The train ride took us around the park.........





A little Lego factory..................
















Since Mark & Mark enjoy playing chess, we bought a Lego chess set....

Enjoy :)
Ciao!

{Stuttgart Zoo}

We drove to Stuttgart, Germany from Bled, Slovenia...I had just enough time to snap this picture of a castle in the fog:



This is the hotel we stayed at....very nice, but NOT kid friendly...there wasn't a pool, which made them very upset!

the clock in the room we had breakfast each morning:



Pictures from our visit to the zoo while Mark was at his conference. I used Garmin to find it--a GPS makes getting places in Europe VERY easy:







the monkeys were fun to watch:












the flower gardens at the zoo were beautiful:




It was a FUN outing!
Enjoy :)
