Salzburg Christkindlmarkt

Missy & Luana
My friend Luana and I joined Weezie and Margie for a day in Salzurg. We had a beautiful winter day with spectacular mountain views. Salzburg is such a pretty little city and we really enjoyed exploring the different Christmas markets.

We also went up to the Fortress that looms over the city. The views were spectacular!



The Christmas market is beautiful at night!


I so enjoyed our visit with these two wonderful ladies. I'm so glad we could join them in Salzburg.

The Kolar Girls are here!

Weezie, Margie, Missy & Steve
This summer while at Steve's mom house we were talking with Weezie about visiting Germany. Weezie is one of three Kolar sisters, daughters of Steve's dad's best friend and longtime friends of the DelRossos. The very next day she called us with a plan and within a week she and her sister Margie had their trip booked. I like their way of living and planning!

Their first day in Germany was pretty lowkey, we drove around our lake exploring the different little towns.  The second day we spent in Munich. One of our longest days ever, we hit all the sites, several markets and had a great German lunch! It was the first weekend of the Christmas markets, it was busy!

My favorite photo spot!
 We shared the start of Advent too!


Part of the reason Weezie and Margie visited was to tour the Krieghof gun factory. Steve and I were lucky enough to be able to go with them. Phil Krieghof was kind enough to welcome us to his factory. We had a fabulous tour with Max. I have to say, these guns are incredibly beautiful and well made. Nearly everything is done by hand and the details and care that goes into the work is impressive. I was also impressed by the fact that they can service any gun they have ever made, even the ones from the 1800s.
