Dresden

We headed to Dresden today. I love that the car offers us the freedom to just up and go to Germany for the day. Anyway, Jason had never been to Dresden and the girls and I had gone once but only to the children's museum so we wanted to really see the city. We decided to go this weekend since it is the Dresden City Festival. We were able to walk around the old town of Dresden while seeing the festival at the same time. I'm curious to go back and explore the old town a little more when there aren't quite so many people so that I can get a better look at the amazing buildings. It was fun to see all the huts selling things for the festival. It was mostly food but they also had quite a bit for kids. Ali rode a pony. Sofia loved watching people go into the dive tank. They both had their face painted and of course they both enjoyed yummy treats like donuts and ice cream. A festival isn't a festival without junk food! After a fun day of walking around the city festival we headed home for a swim in the pool. It was very hot in Dresden today so we were all longing to cool off. I love coming home to our new house but especially today when I knew I could not only come home to the house I love but I could also jump in the pool.
