I’m slowly blogging about my 60th birthday trip back to Germany<\/a> last June. On Day 8, I decided to do one of my favorite things for a June day in Germany and visit the Zweibr\u00c3\u00bccken Rosengarten, about an hour from where I was staying.<\/p>\n

We did this as a family I think three times when we lived in Germany (from 1996 to 2006). I remember for sure we went once on my birthday and once when my husband’s parents were visiting, so at least twice.<\/p>\n

I admit my least favorite part of driving in Europe is driving in cities. I love the country roads and villages, but city streets are more challenging. Still, GPS was easier than the old days of navigating with print-outs from Mapquest, and I made it safely to the parking lot and took a deep breath as I walked the broad tree-lined path to the gate.<\/p>\n

Once I got inside, there’s not a lot to say. I roamed among the roses for a couple hours. Took lots and lots of pictures.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So I’m going to post a small selection of the pictures I took on that lovely day, roaming the roses in Germany.<\/p>\n

Eventually, I had lunch – some delicious Flammk\u00c3\u00bcchen, with Apfelsaftschorle (especially in honor of my daughter – and then when I drank it, I remembered how good it is, and it was for me).<\/p>\n

My kids played chess with this chess set when we were here before:<\/p>\n

All that time outdoors, and I did get a little sunburned. It was the hottest I got on the whole trip – but definitely worth it. After a soul-feeding time in the garden, I was ready to spend the rest of my day visiting castles – stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
