The Donahues Visit!

Steve Missy, Jen & Jed
Another busy and fun week. Our friends the Donahues came to visit bringing their terrific sons Jacob and Jordan.   To combat jetlag they hit the ground running when they arrived and we started with a short tour of Munich. We only saw the major highlights, that was enough for jet-lagged kids!


Next was Oktoberfest for breakfast. Sunday morning is a great time to take kids. You can always get a table in the morning and have a yummy breakfast of kaiserschmarrn or weißwurst and pretzel. Then the kids can ride the rides and play the games, Jacob and Jordan really enjoyed the games! We spent most of the day there soaking up the atmosphere!

 More Bavarian fun the next day. Steve took the Donahues to Andechs, we really do take everyone and then it was the final evening of Oktoberfest. I had been able to find tickets for two tables at Hofbräuhaus so 20 of us made a night of it. The atmosphere at Hofbräuhaus is electric.  We danced all night and had a fabulous time!



The Donahues spent the next few days exploring the Bavarian castles and little idyllic townss and then spent their evenings with us. It was wonderful having them visit! They ended their stay in Milan, exploring a little of Italy and enjoying the fabulous food!

Quick goodbye as the girls headed to school!
