What an amazing weekend in Germany with Baby visiting Gramma's homeland both times with her! We went to the Mosel town of Bernkastel where we stayed right in the old part of town in a beautiful hotel. The first night we had a three course meal and as usual, Baby was so good at the table. We walked around town and enjoyed the Christmas market and especially, hot mulled wine called Gluhwein. On Saturday we went to the Vinotek where we sampled excellent Mosel wines. As part of our weekend package, we received tickets to this wine cave and boy did we have fun! Again Baby ran around the cave and let us enjoy sampling with no fussing. After that we all needed a bit of a rest except I later found out that the Grandparents ran around Christmas shopping while we rested. Then we met up at a WeinStuben to try even more wines followed by a 5 course dinner. Very delicious food. At night we danced in the center of the old town by the beautiful, tall Christmas tree and beside the ice bar, a real bar made of ice. What a hoot! Today we took our time leaving, visited a Christmas market in Trier where we enjoyed sausages and beer and made our way home with the Baby sleeping the entire way from Trier to Brussels, almost 3 hours straight. What a Baby! He is now sitting at the table on a regular chair eating a crepe that Gramma just made. He is using a huge, wooden fork...too cute, gotta go watch!
