Throwback Thursday: Berlin, Germany

It's already Thursday! Is it just me or did this week seriously fly by? Tomorrow everyone will be talking about what they're doing this weekend, but Thursday? Thursday is all about the past! You know what I'm saying...it's Throwback Thursday! Join me as I reminisce about our time in Berlin this past summer. Isn't it bad that I can't look at these pictures and just know they were taken in August?! We are wearing sweatshirts and jeans--crazy! Well, for this trip, we stayed a whole weekend and we packed it with as many tours and sights as our time (and kids) would allow. During our time, we went to the huge zoo that was just a short walk from our hotel, in the expansive Tiergarten, and spent hours. I'm pretty sure we didn't see everything, though. We got to visit the Berlin Wall-although the memorial was actually closed (like most things when we were trying to visit). We also did the big bus tour that we're so fond of. We strolled the Tiergarten, accidentally stumbling into a 'Legalize Marijuana' festival. Don't worry, we didn't stay long. {"Mommy...what's that smell?"} In addition to just strolling around looking for sites and riding the bus tour, we ventured over to Museumsinsel (Museum Island), to explore the Pergamon Museum.  This place was great for the kids because they really enjoy Greek Mythology. The very first room you walk in to contains the reconstructed (and partially original) version of the Pergamon Alter. It depicts a battle between the Gods of Olympus and the Giants. The girls had fun finding all the Gods and Goddesses around the room. If you know my kids-especially K-you know just how geeked out they were at this place!
