Dave and Liz came out to visit just a couple months before the end of our four year stay in Germany. Dave was actually really sick at the beginning of their trip, but I hope they still had a great time. Allen took some time off to show them around the local sites, they went to Venice for a couple days, and we took them to Cochem castle where Spencer got to have a candy coin from the treasure chest at the end of the tour. We had some friends watch our kids, and we saw the sites of Paris with Dave and Liz. It was really freezing the weekend we were there, and it poured the day we got there, but we saw Notre Dame and then spent our time in the Louvre. We just happened to be there on a night where local modern dance groups were performing. They performed some odd numbers with growling animals and such - it was pretty amusing. I often feel like we end up spending a lot of time in the metro, but it was great to have Dave and Liz there with us. We saw Versailles - I just love the garden there! It's too bad it was still winter. This trip was the first time Allen and I had never seen the Eiffel Tower lit up. It looks so much prettier at night! We saw Sacre Couer and some juggling acts outside. It was a beautiful day for our last day, we saw the Arc de Triomphe and some pretty stairs in the Swarovski crystal store. Fun Trip!
