Visiting the Rhine Region of Germany with Kelleigh

Brian and I were so excited to be able to return to one of our favorite parts of Germany, and to be able to take Kelleigh there!  This area is very special to me because it is where my mom was born and where she and my dad met and married.  We stayed in the small town of Bacharach - our hotel was actually located within the ancient walls of the city.

We explored Rudesheim am Rhein, another beautiful town along the Rhine River so that Kelleigh could experience some of our favorite parts of Germany, including Doner Kebab, German desserts, and of course traditional dinners.  =)  We also took her on the cable car up over the vineyards to the Niederwald Monument overlooking the Rhine.  We got lucky too because the sun finally made an appearance while we were up there!

Yummy Doner Kebabs!  =)
Schnapps (and grapes for the pregnant one!) after dinner  =)
"SHHHH!!!  Don't scare the sun away!!!"
The next day, we ventured to Lorelei, which marks the narrowest spot of the Rhine.  We went up to the highest point overlooking the water - it was so beautiful!

Overall, this was an amazing trip, and it was so special to be able to share one of our favorite countries and experiences with Kelleigh.  =)
