Blogging!

Ok, thanks to my fabulous sister-in-law, we finally found a way to start a blog on a site that has English as an option!  We will post updates of our German/European adventures here so that we are not drowning people in info on Facebook. :)  Hope to upload some photos and updates tonight or tomorrow.  Wish I had a photo of the elderly man who stopped at the rasthaus (a nicer version of a highway rest stop that typically has a restaurant and clean bathrooms with an attendant that you are expected to either pay for or tip for...) the other day.  We had stopped for a quick bite on our way back to Cologne from a great weekend in Heidelberg when an elderly man stopped in for a coffee too.  He got a tray, went through the line, got a mug of coffee and a small bottle (picture twice the size of an airline or minibar bottle) of Jagermeister.  He poured the jager into the coffee, at which point we told the boys to hurry up and eat because we wanted to get on the autobaun waaaaaay before the tipsy geezer did.  I haven't seen the kids eat that quickly since I can remember.  We were all cracking up as we walked quite quickly to the car and continued north...
