Heidelberg



Heidelberg was the only "must see" on our tour with Fritz. Unfortunately, every day had been so busy, or the weather was so crappy that the trip kept getting pushed back and back. Terry and I both wanted to make it there so badly with everyone (the girls hadn't been there either) that we decided Wednesday was the day, come rain or shine.

Oh, and what a perfect day we had! We walked the pedestrian shopping district starting from the old city. Then we had lunch at the Vetter Brau brewery and had a wonderful lunch. Then up to the castle and more shopping along the way.

We weren't so sure that Fritz would be interested in touring the castle and listening to a guide, but he went with Bev and Cheyenne while I took Trevor under a tree and let him crawl around - free from his backpack.

Several people started talking to me because of Trevor - he's such a magnet for conversation and one Oma and granddaughter joined us and played with Little T. Shortly, Terry and Kelley joined us and we had a fantastic time hanging out in the grass, people watching and playing/chasing after T.

After the tour, we did some more shopping and then it was time to head back home. The sun had worn us out and we all were ready to crash...mainly Trevor. He didn't take either of his naps and ended up crashing as we made our way back to the car. I'll tell ya what - that kid is a real trooper...he hung with us without much fuss and had a good time along with us all. He's a fantastic little boy and we are just so proud. Enjoy the photos!
