We were so excited to have Grandma Cindi and Great Grandma Squires come and spend a week with us. We decided to take them to Germany for a little sight seeing. We picked them up at the airport and headed straight for Dover Castle. Then we got on the ChunnelWe drove through France, Belgium,and Germany and finally arrived at Spangdalhem air force base. They have really nice accommodations for way cheap! It was great! We spent the week wondering around Germany and Luxembourg. It was beautiful and we had a great time! I thought the food was delicious too! Germany has the best salads. :) I just wish I had taken more pictures, but I was still suffering from morning sickness and not motivated to do much of anything. We have lots of good memories though!

The Great tower
we spent a day in Luxembourgh and went to visit the American Cemetary and Memorial. The city of Luxembourg served as headquarters for Gen. George S. Patton's U.S. Third Army. General and hundreds of soldiers were buried here after WWII. It was a very peaceful cemetery, a beautiful monument erected in honor of those who fought for freedom!
One thing we learned there is that it is a Jewish tradition to place a white pebble on the top of the tombstone to show your respect. A nice gentleman gave the kids a few pebbles. Here is Livi placing her pebble.
The Toy museum
The hillsides were covered with grape vineyards. It was Gorgeous!
