springtime visitors

Well we have had such a busy last couple of months that my blog posts have been few and far between.  But we just did so much on our honeymoon that I didn't want to leave anything out!! Since the honeymoon, a lot has happened also.  First of all, Chase's mom came to visit at the end of April and we had a blast! We mostly just hung out since Chase and I both had to work most of the days.  On my day off we went shopping all around Bamberg (love shopping!).  And on Chase's day off they went to a castle about 45 minutes away - I had to work so I was pretty jealous! We also took her to one of our favorite German restaurants, Mahr's Brau.  I'm pretty sure she loved it!

I think we'd all agree that the highlight of her trip out here was the weekend that Casey, Jaimie, & Crystal came to visit too!  We all had SUCH a blast.  The Patricks got here on Saturday morning and the six of us headed out to downtown Bamberg.  It was one of the most beautiful days we've had here yet! It was the first time Chase and I had seen it in the sunlight haha.

Buying spices. :)

The Rosen Garten with St. Mike's in the background. Can't wait for the roses to bloom!

Dinner at Aposto.

 After walking around all day, and having dinner at an awesome Italian place called Aposto we went back to the house and played games all night.  I mean all night! We could not stop laughing!!

Then to finish off such a great weekend, we had a concert to go to! Taking Back Sunday actually came to Bamberg to give a FREE CONCERT!! I was pretty stoked, because I had paid to see them in concert before in VA Beach.  We had such a blast.

Overall, it was an awesome ten days with Chase's mom, we already can't wait for her to come back! And it was an awesome weekend with the Patricks! We are so lucky to have friends that are only a 2.5 hour drive away. :)
