Neuschwanstein Castle

Summer is in full swing in Germany and we are taking advantage of the warm weather by getting out and about!

Last weekend we visited the Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria.  It was AMAZING!  The weather was rainy, but we did not let that stop us!  We took a horse drawn carriage to the top of the mountain for the tour.  The views from the castle were stunning.  The story of King Ludwig make the castle even more interesting because he seemed to be kind of quirky...

Unfortunately they do not let you take pictures inside... so you will just have to come visit and see for yourself :)

After the Castle we stayed the night a quaint hotel at the foot of the mountain!  We enjoyed a dinner with views of the castle and town and then got up early in the morning to head to LegoLand!  Sadly the weather was not as great as it could be (rainy).. but we still had a good time.  They had all these exhibits made out of tiny legos and they were really cool!  They also had rides, etc, but for the most part Clara was too small for them!  We will try again in a few years though.

We are off to Rome in two weeks, so we will take lots of pictures!
