Pros and Cons...

Things We will miss about Germany:


Having a maid! - I'm sad I didn't get a pic of our nice maid. She was so cute and kind. There were a few others who struggled with kindness (and personal hygiene), and I won't miss them.


Those cool automatic roller blinds that completely block out the light, rolladens:


They are so awesome! Complete and total blackout for your room any time of day.

The trees:

The ICE CREAM:

The pastries :

The breakfast buffet at our hotel (but maybe not- because I'm pretty sure that's why my pants feel tighter!) This is one side of the buffet.

The croissants are positively to-die-for! Perfect, flaky, and buttery on the outside- soft and chewy inside.... yum!

Seeing Europe with my favorite people!

The cool and dangerous parks for my kids:

Things We will not miss about Germany:

• Paying crazy amounts of $ for water


• Ridiculously expensive gasoline


• No Ice


• The BEES- I don't know if I have mentioned the insanely aggressive bees that plague every outdoor activity- Daphne got stung at one of the parties.


• No Air Conditioning

and consequently,

• The body odor

• The lack of manners


• The logistics of traveling and planning our trips- although they were amazing and wonderful, we were relieved to finally be done planning our weekend excursions
  

We loved our time in Germany- but...

There's No Place Like Home!
