Berlin

Berlin - what an amazing city. We loved it. 

We hit all the highlights in a long weekend. Checkpoint Charlie museum was one of my favorites - loved reading the amazing stories of people that escaped and seeing their creative methods.

Brandenburg Gate - beautiful at night! 

Big boy - so happy when he can just run free.

Shopped for a bit at the KaDeWe Department store - could've stayed in there for days! 

When did this guy grow up? He is quite picky about his clothes and chose this shirt featuring the Ampelmann traffic light men of East Germany for his souvenir. Logan got a Berlin car and Chelsea chose a music box and a keychain. Souvenir hunting is the highlight of every trip for them. We give them a budget and they love selecting the perfect souvenirs. 

This was our first official trip to Germany, other than airport layovers. I hope to see more of Germany in our time remaining here!
