Neuschwanstein Castle

Yesterday Jay and I celebrated our first Christmas together. We took a trip down to the Neuschwanstein Castle. This is what the Cinderella castle in Disney World was copied after. Beautiful castle, but even better was the surroundings. We were down in the Bavarian Alps. Unfortunately, it rained and sleeted the entire day. We drove in it the whole way there, were soaked as we walked to the castle, and drove in it home. It was never slippery so that was good. We weren't too thrilled with the castle because we couldn't see much. We were not allowed to walk around it because of the weather. There is a bridge out aways from the castle that is the perfect spot to take a picture. That was also closed. So.... we didn't get very good pictures. We'll go back another time in the summer to see it again.




We came home, opened presents, watched a Christmas movie, and had popcorn and hot chocolate. We had a great evening!! We simply just enjoyed being together. Couldn't have asked for anything better!

Now that family Christmases will begin happening, hope you all enjoy the time spent with your family! We get to see ours in ONE MORE DAY!!! Yippeeee!!!!
