Real Adventuring

Today we adventured out of the Netherlands. Oh yes, the traveling begins.

Okay, okay, so maybe we only "traveled" 20 minutes, but we did go to Germany to wander around a Christmas Market. A Christmas Market is pretty much what it sounds like... There are booths with crafts and foods, Christmas lights and decorations. We just walked around a bit, bought some gingerbread and potato pancakes and then called it a day because it was cold and drizzly and we kept bumping into other people with umbrellas. It was very pretty, though, and a fun thing to do.



And, to Ben's delight, there was a Starbucks right by the market so we stopped for something warm to drink on our way back to the car.



I could not for the life of me take a picture of Starbucks Ben that was not blurry and glowy. I'm pretty sure that Ben was just so happy to have Starbucks that the camera captured him glowing with joy. Cheers!

Even the umbrella and the coats can't dampen the excitement! Two countries already (not counting arriving in Belgium).

Carol & Marc returned home from their shorter trip, and Rowdie from her even shorter trip. Rowdie ran around the house sniffing and looking for Bella and Spud.

Aww, is she oh so depressed now that her bestest buddy and short little friend are gone?
