I got back from the States a bit early - this Thursday instead of this upcoming Monday. I put in most of a full-day's work on Friday, and we got to have some family fun today (Saturday).
The day started grey and rainy, but thankfully cleared up wonderfully for lunch. After lunch we all took a nice walk on the paths out behind our house.
It isn't too often that I get in front of the camera, but Catherine coaxed me out there.
And again with Leah this time.
After our walk I wanted to see Schloss Oberstein (Oberstein Castle) in Idar-Oberstein. I've driven past it many times, but have never actually been there. So I loaded up the kids in the Mini Cooper and off we went. The GPS got us close, but ended up leading us on a wild goose chase. Thankfully there were signs, but it did take some careful looking. There are actually two castles there (apparently brothers had built their individual castles 300 meters apart), and this one is the lesser of the two. The bigger one has a restaurant and what looks like a B&B, though I'm not too sure of the latter.
I have a couple more photos of the kids that I took that I really like that will be posted tomorrow, so look for another post shortly.
I'm glad to be back home, it was a long 2-3 weeks away from Catherine and the kids. And hopefully the last time for quite some time. Have a wonderful day everyone - we've certainly had one.
Cheers,
Marc
