Saturday we woke up and went to a green house owned by a friend and colleague. They were busy for Mother's day, but the kids had a chance to run around and Andi had a chance to take pictures of flowers. Plus we could pick up some flowers for Mother's day. We did this back on Valentine's day too, so maybe Andi is catching on...
Then we went up to the local castle ruins, Burg Reußenstein. This 700 year old castle fell into disrepair 350 years ago. It was situated on the top of a cliff in the Scwabish Alps. Beautiful!
Then we went to a nice little place for lunch, Gasthof Rossle. Most of the food was made by the family locally. Terrific stuff. And a Kaiser Hefeweizen. We picked up some fresh bread and sausages to take home.
Then we hit the Maerklin train museum and shop. Maerklin is the German company that makes model trains. It was not as big as the one in Hamburg, but it was still fun for Drew. He really liked running the trains around.
The kids slept for a while while we drove back to town and did a little shopping. The weather cleared up, so we hit the local park in Stuttgart. They have a mini-diesel train that takes you around the whole park in about fifteen minutes. Finally the rain hit, so we ran home.
Kaiser Hefeweizen - Did not tast good at first, but it went very well with the food. Andi said she could cook with it.
Gutmann Hefeweizen - Tasty, but nothing spectacular.
Grimbergen Dubbel - Belgium, tastes a bit fruity. Not bad, but other Belgium beers were a bit more tasty.
