"Toto, we're not in Vegas anymore"!

 Although we got lost on the way to Idar Oberstein where this beautiful hike and castle ruins are located, we finally made it and enjoyed the scenary.  Idar Oberstein is a lot bigger than I thought it would be.  My GPS hijacked me and took me to a totally different area while everyone else in the group ended up driving right to the valley where this hike was nestled.  It was a bit of a frustrating experience getting lost in this bigger town in another country (not being able to stop and ask for help because of the language barrier), for an hour and having a child threatening to be car sick the whole time, but thankfully we got there and all turned out okay! 

 I loved this bridge up above

 We have become fast friends with the Flakes.  They are such a cute family and have kids similar ages.  They are exactly opposite of us.  4 girls and one boy.  The boy is second just like Hanna is. 


Josh and Kelsey have so much fun together
