In the 45 days that we've been here, yesterday was the THIRD time we've seen blue skies in Stuttgart. Never have I been so happy to enjoy the sunshine and feel that hint of spring in the air.
This weekend we went on a "recon mission" as Ben called it. We are still in the infantile stages of becoming fully comfortable with our surroundings. This weekend's mission was to
1. Locate the neighborhood swimming pool
2. Locate the neighborhood doner kebab restaurant
3. Take the u-bahn downtown
4. Locate the children's museum downtown
And I'm happy to report our mission was completed!
Ben figuring out how to buy u-bahn tickets. We were at this machine for like 15 minutes trying to purchase a ticket.
The girls LOVED taking the tram, although their expressions here don't quite match their enthusiasm
Downtown platz
And local artists are always fun to sit and watch. Ben was enthralled by this guy.
This guy was crankin' out "Que Sera Sera." He was so into it!
Not the greatest pic in the world, but see the lady approaching us?
She stopped to ask us if we would like a pic of the whole family. After she took the pic (which didn't turn out which is why it's not posted) Ben asked her if she would like to get a picture with me. And now random stranger is on the blog! Awkward, awkward. Ben is just like that. He loves to put me in awkward situations.
More pics of downtown
And coming back home to Robinson Barracks...
This is the view from on top the hill. It really has an amazing view of the city... this photo does not do it justice!
And the girls are finally able to soak in some Vitamin D!
Ha! I chuckled quite a bit at the picture of you and the stranger. Jason said, "What are you laughing at...Mindy's blog again?" Thanks for the stories. You are a riot.
