excited

I have been bursting not being able to tell you all some big news, but I wasn't quite able to post about it before.
We're going to Germany this September! I haven't been since 2008 (We try to go every year to visit family, but it doesn't always work out) and I can't wait to go back.

Germany is amazing. I love going there. Everything is so old (The town my mom grew up in and where my grandparents still live was founded in 1238 AD) and beautiful, so different, so wonderful. 

Everyone usually bicycles or walks, as it's just so more convenient, so the bicycle paths there are really nice. 

We certainly get our exercise there! :)

Of course, don't get me started on the chocolate there. When we were there in 2008 I ate so much that by the end of our 2 month stay I was tired of it. 

Mmmm...

There is a possibility that my mom and I may travel to Paris while we're in Germany. It would be a dream come true. The photographer in me is already jumping for joy thinking about all the wonderful pictures I could take there (as well as in Germany). The street scenes, the little coffee houses, not to mention the Eiffel Tower.

Sigh.

I'm already dreaming about everything I can blog about while we're in Europe...I hope you can deal with all the pictures that are bound to come!
