On Saturday I was away for a total of 13 hours, by myself, no hubs, no kids. Just my bestie and I with a bunch of other random strangers. We took a bus tour up to the Mosel. It was an awesome day. Definitely what this mother needed to regroup and refresh. I think all mother's and fathers need to take a day away and enjoy themselves. It's much needed. Even if you think you don't need a break or ever could leave your babies, you should think about it.
Our drive up the valley was winding, cold, and lots of snow with beautiful views.
We made 2 stops on the trip. Our first stop was in the quaint village of Bernkastel-Kues. Much of the village was closed because of winter, but we were able to enjoy a bakery for some warm tea and pastry. We then walked around the village and it was beautiful. The roads between the main road were tiny. I mean tiny! I think they do a lot of walking in this village because there's no way a vehicle and pedestrians can walk in the same road.
Our second stop was at the wine factory they had chosen for us to visit. It was the Weingut Am Rosenberg in Osann. When we first walked in, it stunk! I guess after 4 hours of drinking wine the smell went away and we were used to it. It was fun! Mr. Brosch Jr. was the owner and he also took us on a tour and explained how he made his wine. He didn't show us the process, which was a bummer! I was really hoping to see how wine is made, juices flowing, that type of show. Oh well, it was still A LOT of fun. We met many new friends and I have 4 more bottles of wine to enjoy!!
When I got home I was frozen and Nick had to take a picture of my hands. ha! Not like it's anything new, but it still amazes him how frozen my hands get.
The kids were great for Nick. He says they're only bad for me. I believe it. I've heard that kids are better for one parent than the other. I'll have to figure a way to break them of that though, or else I'll be on A LOT more trips. I was secretly hoping they would be bad for him, ha! You know, the whining, crying, screaming type of day, hahaha! No luck :(
When my friend sends me the pictures from her camera, I'll post more. Her camera is the one that we took all the pictures of us together on.
