We stayed at a resort called Edelweiss. This is an American resort just for military members. We had a beautiful room with an amazing view. We could see people skiing down the slopes from our balcony. This in one of the mountains we could see from our room. We wanted to go to the top of it but most days it was too foggy and snowy. We hope to go back this summer and maybe go to the top then.
We also went to a castle and church while we were there. The castle we went to was called Neuschwanstein it was King Ludwiggs castle. It was so ornate and extravagant. This is also the castle that Walt Disney patterned Disney land after. He was so taken by it and found it to be a whimsical looking place. So here are some pictures of us there. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take any pictures once inside so we don't have any from inside to show you.
These two pictures were taken on the way up. We walked about 1 1/2 miles up to the castle.
This is Micah at the base of the hill before we walked up the hill.
Before we got to the castle we stopped at this church. It was really cool to see this church because all the cathedrals we visit here in England are built in the Gothic style of architecture. This church was the first church we have visited from the Renaissance. It was so amazing to see all the colors and sculptures inside. It was very colorful.
So that is our trip to Germany in a nutshell. In addition to sightseeing we did a little snowboarding. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures to show you of that. But believe me when I say you aren't missing anything. I spent most of the time on the ground and on my knees. Micah as always had an awesome time and really got a lot better. This was the first time we have snowboarded two days in row and it was nice to have second day to practice the stuff we learned on the first day. We had a such a great time in Germany and can't wait to go back. Micah's brother Adrian in coming to visit us this summer and we hope to take him back with us and do some white water rafting. There is just so much to do and see there we can't wait to go back! So the offer stands to anyone who wants to come visit we are always looking for a reason to go again:).

What a trip Jennie, and amazing pictures! I want to know how many you had to take to get the one of you guys on the bottom right and the castle in the background. :-)
Dear Micah and Jennie...so enjoyed your blog and your pictures...Wish we could have gone with you...all except the snow boarding...Probably would have slowed you down on that one. Wonderful experience...so glad you are taken advantage of these opportunites. Loved the paintings on the ceilings. Amazing. See your folks quite often so we hear bits and pieces of things going on in England. Even though Tanya thinks you must have taken quite a few pics to get these good ones, grandma realizes your talent!! You have a good eye for good pictures. Thank you so much for sending them, and your narration. Hope we can get to England before it is time for you to come home.. Take care!!! Love you both and are so proud of you. Grandpa and Grandma Vanderpol...
