Trip to Europe

My sister served a mission in the Germany Frankfurt Mission. Last year (April 2007) I went with my parents to pick her up. It was so great to see her and have some just the two of us time - as I was her companion for the trip. It was a crazy, wonderful two week trip - full of adventures and getting lost! We started in Brussels, Belgium, then drove to Holland to visit some of my parents friends from my Dad's mission. Then finally it was time to drive to Germany to get Lauren. We spent a few days wandering around Germany - concluding with a whirlwind road trip - 5 countries in one day (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and France). Then it was back to Holland to visit the annual flower festival - hooray for Tulips!! Then back to Germany for some shopping - I am praying an H&M comes to Salt Lake soon!! And sadly back to the real world. Here are a couple of pictures from the trip. I will post more when I am on my other computer.

At Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany (a beautiful castle built into a mountain - it was the model for Sleeping Beauty's castle in Disneyland)






At the Frankfurt, Germany temple. Lauren spent a few months here on her mission so she knew a lot of the cute senior missionaries serving there when we did a session. Then she gave us the grand tour.





At the Hulleman's home in Holland. They are SO much fun! We love visiting with them.
