This next picture is of all of us after we toured the Neuschwanstein Castle. This castle is what Walt Disney made his Disney Castle look like. It was quite impressive inside. They would not let us take any pictures inside the castle which completely sucked since the artwork on the walls and ceiling were amazing. From left to right starting in the front row is: Jon, Lotta, Netta, Allison, Me, Ilke, Kathleen, Rachael, Larry, and Pekka.

Here are a few pictures from our vacation. The first one is of all of us on New Year's Eve in front of the Christmas tree that they had at the resort. From left to right is Jon, Allison, Me, Larry, Kathleen, Rachael , and Ilke. We were getting ready to head to the party that they were having at the resort.

So, I have been a little behind on my posts. I promise to write a lengthy post on how our vacation to Germany was. We just got home last Sunday and have been trying to get adjusted back to our own time zone and get everything put away and all the laundry done. Needless to say, it has been a long week at work for me since we had been closed for two weeks there was much to be done to catch up. We took lots of pictures and I hope to post many of them here on the blog so everyone can see where we were and what we did. As far as Larry's retirement video goes, we are having trouble get it copied so I am not sure if I will be able to get it up and running here or not. I will keep trying. Check back in a few days to see if I have pictures and another post on our holiday vacation to Germany. We did have an excellant time.
