Wurzburg

With Grandma and Papa in town, my mom had the fun idea to take an overnight trip to Würzburg, a small, German town on the Romantic Road where she lived in the late 60s while teaching on the army base. As we toured around, my mom recognized the standard centuries-old landmarks, but it was amazing to realize how any city, even quaint, little German towns, really can change in 40 years.


One thing that hadn't changed was Würzburg's great wine. At lunch, we ordered every Würzburg wine off the menu and made our own little wine tasting. Yes, even Papa got a break from Will's lunch for a few swishes of wine.

Here we are in front of the Residenz. We, unfortunately, didn't get to go inside for a tour, for my parents got experience the slower pace of traveling with a 9-month old! Sometimes we have to bypass landmark tours for naps, diaper changes, feedings, or just moving on to better time the before-mentioned baby activities. :)

Once we actually found the right path, we walked up the hill to the fortress. It was a gorgeous walk (aside from the 47 steps with a kinder-wagon at the start) among Würzburg white wine grapes.

We all had a really fun time!
