Trip to Germany -1st Day

 David and I flew into Frankfurt September 21st at 6:20 am.  Chris was there to meet us and drive us to their place on the autobahn, which took a little over an hour.   David immediately had so much fun looking at the vehicles over there.  Lisa and the little boys welcomed us and we got a tour of their  lovely home.



 We then took a nap and when the other kids got home from school, they woke us up and we were on our way to our first adventure.  We drove into Heidelberg somewhere and visited the Schwetzingen Palace Gardens.  It was a gorgeous day and a gorgeous place. (check Lisa's blog for more great pictures)





 There were several other buildings on the palace grounds.  This mosque was one of them.  Very cool

So fun to be with our Johnson grandkids!
The girls.
 Pretty interesting trimming of the trees here.
After dinner that evening, we went for a walk down thier street to the open fields.   The corn was high in some fields.  They have a great place to ride bikes and enjoy the country scenes.


We managed to stay awake until about 9 that night so that made a great 1st day!
