April and Eric spent a week in Germany with us! We were so excited to have visitors. Caden loved his Aunt and Uncle! We had a week full of snow, sleet, rain and wind, but we still managed to travel and have a wonderful time! Last Friday we took a day trip to Trier and saw the Porta Nigra and the Cathedral. It started to sleet so we ducked into a little cafe to get some coffee and warm up. Caden was smiling at the waitress and she brought him his own little ice cream cone. It was his first taste of ice cream and he loved it! That night my good friend Ellen came over to babysit Caden. We took April and Eric out to eat in Kaiserslautern at the Brau Haus. We had schnitzel and flamkuchen to eat and Jake, April, and Eric shared a 5 liter beer tower! On Saturday we went to Cologne. The weather was OK when we first arrived. We had lunch in a little Italian cafe and walked through the Cathedral. April and Andi walked up 509 stairs in a very small and windy stairwell to the top of the cathedral. The view of the city was amazing! After touring the Cathedral, it started to sleet and was freezing so we headed for home. Easter morning we woke up to snow! The Easter Bunny brought Caden a little toolbox for his Easter basket and he loved it! That afternoon we drove to Munich. We stayed in a little hotel withing walking distance of the Old Town. We ate dinner in a beer hall and ate Bavarian food. We braved the cold on Monday and spent the day touring the city. It was a public holiday in Germany so all of the stores were closed, but we saw all of the historic buildings and a castle. We went to the HofBrau Haus for dinner. We had good food and liter beers! Caden shared Andi's spatzle (German noodles) and pretzels before falling fast asleep in his stroller. Tuesday morning we awoke to more snow. We walked into town and Jake and Eric bought beer steins and then we headed for home. It was a long and snowy drive, but we made it home safely. This morning we said our goodbyes and Jake took April and Eric to the airport. We are so glad they came to visit. We had a great time!
Caden loves his Aunt April!

Oh Andi, I'm so glad y'all had visitors in from The States. Family and friends visiting from that far away just does your heart good and I know they must have enjoyed every single minute with Caden. And y'all must be wiped out...that is quite an itinerary for a few short days.
