I was feeling pretty down thinking about spending my birthday here, I have never been away from home or family really ever on my birthday. So spending it in Germany didn’t really excite me. We decided to do what we love best about being here…Travel. So Jeff planned a wonderful get-a-way for my birthday celebration. We woke up early Thursday morning on the 21st and watched a beautiful sun rise over Attendorn. Then we hopped in the car and headed south to Baden-Baden, a city known for their Spas and Casino. We arrived just in time for the most perfect picnic in the park, which included sandwiches, champagne and chocolate. What could be better! Then we headed off to spend the afternoon at the Roman spas. Jeff arranged for massages and we ended up spending almost 4 hours exploring the spa pools, saunas and steam rooms. We went back to the hotel and got all dressed up and went out to a wonderful candle light dinner and then headed to the casino to watch people waste their money! It was the most perfect Birthday! Happy 26 to me!
On Friday we toured the Black Forest and the Cuckoo Clock Villages. It was about a 5 hour drive that was filled with neat towns and great views. We ended our day in Freiburg im Breisgau with a nice dinner and beers. After exploring the Freibburg market on Saturday morning, we continued on our Journey to Heidelberg. We toured the castle for several hours awed by the views and castle grounds. We returned home after checking out Heidelberg. It was a great trip and we saw a ton of amazing sights. We are already on to planning our next get-a-way to Munich and Salzburg, Austria. So we will continue to focus on what makes us happiest, being together and traveling to anywhere and everywhere.
