Jessica and Hutto's Visit- Part 1

The rest of Jessica and Hutto's visit was amazing! We went from Munich to Salzburg then to Prague then back to Salzburg and then to Munich. Phew! Talk about a lot of travel in 8 days!

Although we had a blast the whole trip, here are some notable moments.

In Munich, our first stop was HofbrÀuhaus (even before Oktoberfest). This is where Jessica and Hutto got a little taste of the fabulous beer and pretzels that Munich has to offer. We also got to see Shrek, but's that's a whole other story. ;)

In Salzburg, we made it to the last day of Der Rupertikirtag, which is a festival in Old Town Salzburg. There were tons of games, food stands, and of course a large beer tent set up. This is where we continued our Oktoberfest partying.


The next day, we woke up bright and early and were off to St. Gilgen where we enjoyed some yummy pizza while taking in the gorgeous view. Then on the way home, we stopped to go to tobogganing and then to the top of Geisburg. It was a very successful day!


While in Salzburg, I also took them to Mirabell Garden. They were in the middle of swapping out flowers but it was still as gorgeous as ever! Then, we were off to the castle and the Hotel Stein at sunset. Then to top it all off (as if it could get any better), we stopped for the best pizza in Salzburg. Life here never gets old! :)

Oktoberfest in Munich

This post is long overdue. Things have been crazy around here. I feel like a broken record.

Nonetheless, my best friend Jessica and her boyfriend Hutto came to visit for Oktoberfest in Munich a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, Jason was back in the States for a family emergency (you know what I mean if you've read my last couple of posts). But, we sure did have a great time anyhow. It was so great to see my bestie and to explore Europe with her and it really took my mind off of things.

Oktoberfest is nothing like I imagined. People in lederhosen and dirdls standing on tables, chugging beers, singing along to the music, meeting new people-- all with liters of beer in hand. Talk about a party! How have I missed out on this for so long?



I can't wait to show Jason the ropes next year! :)
