Bavaria with the family

Had a good time down in Garmisch with the family; they were able to come over and enjoy Fall and the Oktoberfest with us.

In these photos, we are all taking in the sights from atop the Kreuzech. It was a GREAT lunch, with a great view!

Mainzer Winefest

As in past years, we made sure to hit the Mainz wine fest! It is held in a beautiful park, near the Rhein River.

You can tell we are experienced wine-festers - note the perma - grins.

Kreuzberg, part 2

We had to wait for the motorcycle dudes, so we had a beer and ate some lunch. It was a beautiful day up there!

Once we had gotten all that we needed, we had a crazy number of bottles! Here are some pics of the bikers, the beer and the sunny day!

Kreuzberg Monastery

After many stories and much hype, we finally made it to Kreuzberg for the infamous monk beer. We took a Saturday and drove up, to fill our jugs and also check the place out. Once the word got out that we were going, people came out of the woodwork with jugs to be filled! We decided to take the kids' wagon just to get the stuff up the hill. ha ha.
