A Busy Week

We have had a busy week here with our guests Mike and Renee. Or more truthfully Mike and Renee have had the VERY busy week.

Wednesday evening we headed to Schwetzingen to tour the schloss there and have supper together. We had a lovely time. It was a beautiful evening, which was perfect for walking in the schloss gardens and eating outside.

Thursday morning I dropped Mike and Renee off at the train station at 8am and they headed to Koln to see the cathedral there. They also took in a boat cruise on the Rhine and saw all the castles dotting the hills along the way. They got back at about 10:15 at night...so a full day for them!

Friday, Mike and Renee headed to the town of Rothenburg ob der Touber. They had gotten a later start and apparently there wasn't a train that went there directly - so they didn't arrive til mid afternoon. But they still had a nice time and enjoyed the town. Again it was late when they returned.

Since we were heading out early on Saturday, to Munich for Oktoberfest, we dropped the kids off with friends yet on Friday night. Jeremy and I enjoyed a late night date, then we picked Mike and Renee up at the train station and decided to go out again with them as well. We knew we wouldn't get another chance to go to our local favorite with them. Is staying out past midnight wise when you have to get up at 5am??.....not much time for sleeping!

Saturday we headed to Oktoberfest....see the next post for details....

Sunday Mike and Renee headed to France.

It has been a very busy - BUT FUN - week. There are tons of details I'm leaving out - but just wanted to post a bit about what we've been up to.
