More in Michigan

A few more pictures of Mayson in Michigan after I got back from Europe

We went to the county fair, Mayson, Nana and Poppie actually went twice. Mayson enjoyed seeing and listening to all the animals, she like to mimic them. The baby lamb below was only a day old.

Germany

My trip ended in Germany. We spent 2 nights in Munich and one in Frankfurt (where the airport was) Munich is where Oktoberfest is. We were 5 days early so we didn't get to experience it. Well Sam is still there so I'm sure if he can he will go back. We did go to where it is and saw all the beer halls and where they were setting everything up. In downtown Munich there is a huge beer hall called Hofbrauhaus, it dates back to the 1500's it was the first place to brew beer in Germany. It holds about 1500-2000 people. Sam's drinking a beer from there below and I'm drinking a sprite, I was the only one I saw out of the hundreds of people their not drinking beer....actually there was one lady drinking wine, I was shocked they even served wine!

Switzerland

We spent a couple days in Luzern, Switzerland. It's a town in Switzerland that my mom's grandfather grew up in before he came to the US. We were expecting a small town but it was actually a nice size city, but also had mountains and a huge lake. It was beautiful, but very expensive. $25 hamburgers, $3-6 bottles of water!! Sometimes my water would be more than Sam's beer or wine.

More to come...

I will have more pictures of our trip later. I head back to Michigan tomorrow, I'm not able to upload pictures there so I won't be able to blog until I get home.

Venice

I absolutely loved Venice, it was everything I had thought Italy would look like. We just enjoyed walking or riding the water taxis around to take in the scenery.

Venice is just as beautiful at night. It's hard to capture the beauty with a picture but we tried. Sam was able to get most of the good night pictures.

When in Rome...

The first city we travelled to was Rome. It's a beautiful city with lots of history but is also very dirty in parts, smelly too. There is so much to see, tons of walking. I will do a collages of each place since I have so many pictures. Below are are few of Rome. (for those who don't know you should be able to click on it to enlarge it)

Hanging in Michigan

Here are some pictures of Mayson in Michigan before I left for Europe.

Mayson spotted the chickens right away

Swinging with her cousin Nathaniel

Ready for our boat ride

Having one of her favorite snacks

This face made me laugh, this was the morning before I left for Germany, she wanted the camera

This was about 2 seconds later, such a change in facial expressions.

Chasing Chickens

Nana and Poppie (Sam's parents) got some chickens. Mayson spotted them as soon as we got out of the car. She loves to chase them. Some times when they cock-a-doddle do, she tells them..."stop it"
