A few days before the new year, Matt set off to Boston for a conference combined with a nice visit with his family. Back in the planning stages I mentioned the plans to my mom, and before I knew it she (followed by my sister Lesley!) were all set to come to Berlin....flights booked, bags packed! How could be pass up a girls-only week in Berlin? We didn't let weather forecasts of below freezing temps stop us in any way. We visited museums, traveled on subways, sipped tea in cafes, took a day trip to Potsdam, and had many many laughs along the way. I am so thankful to have these amazingly strong and supportive women in my life. It was so nice to show them our new city that we now call home. We didn't have to wait too long to wonder who our next visitors would be....Lesley and Steve are all set to come out for a European adventure in April! Stay tuned!
We were lucky enough to hit the last day of the famousGendamenmarkt Christmas Market - which happened to be New Years Eve!

A girls week bashing about Berlin! Fun! Fun! Fun! Well it seems your family is doing their part in keeping you from being too homesick by visiting. That is great! Matt do doubt appreciates it also so that he doesn't feel quite as guilty leaving you home alone. For spring break I'm heading to WA to visit my step Mom and we plan to drive to Canada for some High Tea at the Empress Hotel. We did it two years ago and had a fabulous time.
I hope you are keeping a journal of all your travels? Your children would enjoy them. Speaking of children...any time frame on have one? ???????????
