Prague

This past summer the Combs Family (Terry, John, Anne & Little John) came over to visit! It was so great to have them with us! We took off one long weekend to Prague with them...here are some of the highlights..Yummy Confections eating said yummy confections

Terry, Jeff, Wolf, Little John and I made the trek to the top of the hill where the Prague castle and cathedral of St. Vitus were located. Definately worth the climb.

Livvy and Wolf

John had a groovy GPS that allowed us to do some geo-caching - with Livvy loved! Here she is with a found cache.

In the mornings Jeff, Sarah & Terry went on coffee runs. We located a starbuck (but they were out of city mugs!) but anyway it was right along this lovely road with lead to some sort of museum.

Coffee!!

Go Ansbach Bears!

Wolfgang played football for the first time this year and LOVED it. He played on the Ansbach Bears team - they played every Saturday. He got to travel and play at Hohenfelds, Vilseck, Bamberg, and of course on our home field in here in Ansbach, Germany! Was a great season. His last game is this Saturday in Bamberg. He is already talking about playing next year!

Krakow, Poland

Jeff & I snuck away for a weekend to Krakow, Poland. I think to date it rates on my all time top 3 favorite destination lists. I can't put my finger on why I loved it so much but I really did.

Jeff said if he lived here this would be his room.

The Polish love Pope John Paul! He was all over Krakow! This was in the courtyard of the castle by the Wawel Catherdral.

This was the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul

The Main old town Square was amazing - tons of outdoor resturants - we had pizza the first night and mexican the second night. There was also a place called Cloth Hall which was a long hall of vendors - mostly selling Amber. Cloth Hall is thought to be the oldest "mall" in history dating back 700 years. There was also horse drawn carriges lined up to take tourists on a tour of the city. A tower in the market square.

The Basilica of the Virgin Mary - this church was amazing.
