Ok so we had a fun filled weekend and honestly I am ready for a nap right now. We woke up early Saturday morning and headed to Phantasialand. It was fabulous and we spent all day there!! We left there and drove to Koln where we checked into our hotel, asked for a map and were out exporing the city and looking for a place to eat by 5:30pm. We found the Hard rock cafe and ate dinner there. Then we just walked around the town snapping pictures and being amazed at all the beautiful things they have there. We finally returned to our hotel around 9pm and that was only because it started getting dark and DD2 does NOT like dark at all!!
The next morning we woke up and had a fabulous brunch at the hotel and checked out and headed out to explore more of the town. We saw the gorgeous Dom of Koln and many other beautiful things and then made our way to the schokoladen museum where we engorged ourselves in everything chocolate..MMMMmmmmmm!!! It was fabulous!! I even brought home some chocolate beer!! Yupp it may not taste good but I had to have it anyway.

That sounds like such a fun adventure! I'd love to go and do something like that. As soon as my dearest Hubby can pass his PT test he'll be going active duty vs reserves and I hope to have some adventures at that point. At the moment as a Momma with three under 3 I'm too poor for such adventures. ;) So, I have to live vicariously through others' adventures, like your fun weekend. Thanks for sharing! Stopping by from military monday blog hop and I can't wait to hear more about your adventures!
