Fun Times at the Bodensee with Mom and Dad...

Hey all! My parents arrived in Germany last Tuesday, and since then we've been having a great time exploring the area around the lake we live on! We've wandered around Friedrichshafen, explored the beautiful lakeside towns of Birnau, Lindau, and Meersburg, journeyed to the top of Mt. Santis in Switzerland, and made a quick trip to Zurich, Switzerland. Overall, we're having a fabulous time! Next up... Salzburg (Austria), Neuschwanstein Castle, Munich, Dachau, Strasbourg (France), and whatever else awaits us! :) Here's a few pictures we've taken during our adventures... Enjoy! Stay tuned for more tales of our adventures here in Germany...

We took a walk down by the lake one evening and these are a few pictures we took along the way... The flowers here are in full bloom... Very pretty! :)

We decided to stop at a "cut your own flowers" location on the side of the road... How fun! :)

Mom and I trying to cut a sunflower... Those things are tough! :)

SMILE!!

Dad, Brian, and Mom (yes, that's her hand) enjoying a hefeweizen on their first night in Germany! :)

A typical pizza for one person in Germany... They're quite large! :) Mom and Dad were slightly traumatized when the pizzas arrived at the table! :)

Inside the Birnau church... And, yes, this is another "illegal" picture that I took while inside. :)

A memorial for victims of the Dachau concentration camp... Dad found this along the side of the road near Birnau...
