Rothenburg pt 1

WE ARE BACK! BACK AGAIN! 

We (okay, I) floated an idea of a family trip a couple years ago and last week we finally made it! (Mike and I, my parents, and Mike's mom and sister)

I planned and organized the whole trip based on my favorite places and places I knew our family would like. 

Stop #1 Background:

Back in 2007, I visited Rothenburg, Germany and fell in love. Rothenburg ob der Tauber is famous for its well-preserved medieval architecture and fairytale atmosphere. It's known for its intact city walls, cobblestone streets, and it has a number of original buildings dating back to the Middle Ages. I knew our moms would love it! I was also very eager to go back as it's officially one of my favorite cities in the entire WORLD. 

Iconic photo op

So many good photo ops

Walking the wall

Almost group photo-just missing my dad!

Not only that, but it has been SIX years since I've seen my German sister so a reunion was LONG OVERDUE!!! 

Reunited with my German Sister! 

I first met Carla online back in 2012. We didn't know each other, but we decided to spend 2 months traveling New Zealand together. The rest is history! (This is seriously such a cool story- maybe I'll make a seperate post about it)

Anyway, Carla is one of my very best friends! Even though we don't get to see each other as often as we'd like, the memories we've shared together are PRICELESS. We spent two months in New Zealand together, met up a few years later in Spain to do some traveling, met up a few years after that in Amsterdam and Hamburg where she got to meet my dad and my husband who were traveling with me, and now reunited in Rothenburg!! 


Up next, I'll tell you all the things to do and see in Rothenburg and why you need to spend more than one day there!
