Berlin & Dortmund, Germany

We had another round of jet lag when we made it to Berlin. Somehow we managed to get our rental car (possibly accidently paying for extra car insurance. Post flight with a toddler is a vulnerable time to make decisions, ha). We had lunch in Berlin & got to see the Berlin Wall! I have visited Berlin before (totally saw She & Him in concert) but did not see the wall.

 Rockwell does not really like to take photos or be in them, but he told me this pickle is a game changer. Now I forgot why. & there is poop and pee next to him, ew.::

 She pretends bottles of water or soap are babies for her to take care of::

 Rock's first Döner, it is a very important moment in a young man's life::

 We drove from Berlin to Dortmund. The timing of our visit to Germany was Jonas' family reunion held at his aunt's home. She has the loveliest garden with fresh produce and herbs growing all around::

Everyone who attended the reunion::

 Her gorgeous home & our little rental car::

Jonas went to church & met up with some old friends::

 We went out for more Döner one night & it was so pretty out::

 There was a Mirabelle plum tree in the garden and we picked them to eat. I have never had them before due to import laws and never noticed them at the grocery store while I lived in Germany. It is another food on my list for my visits to Europe! ::

 Zara had an obsession with this chair::

 Z is addicted to hard boiled eggs and we made them for her almost every day of our trip::

We are so thankful for our time at the family reunion in the garden!
