Subliminal
Last night LittleZabba said this prayer before bedtime, Dear Jesus, Thank you for our fun day. Help us to sleep well. Please help us to do something fun tomorrow, like go to the zoo. Amen.

I am so thankful that BZ has found a close friend, a bosom friend, a kindred spirit. (yes i have been watching Anne of Green Gables lately). BZ and her friend have been buddies since they were about 2 years old. They are attached at the hip. They love each other fiercely, meaning they fight… Read More BFF

Potsdam
On our last day in Germany we decided to take the train to the neighboring city, Potsdam. When we left the train station it was clear that we were tourists as we had our guide book out trying to figure out which way to go. So, the tour bus guy came to us and ended… Read More Potsdam

Oops. Sorry.
We took a tour of Potsdam today. It is a lovely little town which I will write more about later. I wanted to give you a taste of what we saw. We went to 3 different palaces throughout the town. Each one had beautiful gardens and fountains. We stopped to take a photo in this… Read More Oops. Sorry.

The Bebelplatz is known as the site of the Nazi book burning ceremony held on May 10, 1933. Around 20,000 books were burned that day. Today there is an underground memorial located… Read More Other Sites

Chocolate
Who wants chocolate for lunch? Us!! We went to a fabulous restaurant, The Schokoladen-Restaurant of Fassbender & Rausch Chocolatiers, where every meal contains chocolate in one way or another.

Church
This morning the girls and I attended a German church with a new friend, an American woman we met here in Berlin, and her parents. The church meets in a movie theater, the Kino Babylon. DZ was unable to attend as he had to be at the conference to do his presentation. The girls were… Read More Church
Beer on the go
Today while walking around Berlin I saw the funniest thing. This isn’t the exact Bier Bike we saw since I didn’t think to take a photo, but you get the idea. The boys on the Bier Bike were laughing and having what looked like a party. All of them were sitting on their bike seat,… Read More Beer on the go
The Fish
Just before our vacation the girls took swimming lessons. Our hope was that they would remember the things they learned last summer, then we would be able to get lots of practice in while we were in Florida. Our plan worked perfectly. Hopefully they will have had enough swimming time that they will retain most… Read More The Fish
