My favorite city in Germany is Rothenburg. It is a romantic, walled city with a lot to do and tons of charm. Our family has been before and I wanted to take my sister and mom there too. To keep my stress level to a minimum, I left Avery at home. Thanks again Brice and Kim. My mom, my sister, me, Caden, Kayla and Shauna's 2 boys made the 2 hour drive one Sunday afternoon.
We stayed in a lovely little hotel.
This hotel had great personality and an even better breakfast. We feasted on fresh pastries with Nutella.
Rothenburg has a world famous Christmas store. A store that adults could spend hours in admiring the thousands of ornaments and Christmas decorations. In our case it was a store that tiny fingers wanted to touch everything shiny and breakable (one reason Avery didn't come with us). The kids actually did well and enjoyed looking at the store. However, the teddy bear store was more suited for them.

Charming buildings and shops
The highlight of the trip for me was in the hotel room. As Shauna and I were waiting for the kids to fall asleep we played "props" with our earplugs. Our imaginations were very creative kept us quite entertained. We were laughing so hard our sides were hurting. We did make efforts to stay quite, but our giggles did wake Caden up. Oops.
We ended up cutting the trip short because some of us were feeling under the weather. Despite the cool weather and sickies it was a fun few days.

I almost peed my pants when you posted the pic of the earplugs. I tried to tell someone how funny it was but I was laughing to hard. I love it.
