Christmas Market weekend

In mid-December we spent a weekend visiting German Christmas markets with Brandon and Alicesara. Being that it was our last winter in Germany we had to make sure to get our fill!   Our first stop was Nürnberg, home of Germany's most famous and most popular Christkindlesmarkt (2 million visitors a year!).  We drank plenty of Feuerzangenbowle and Glühwein to stay warm; ate pretzels, Lebkuchen (gingerbread), and Nürnbergers; and bought fun German souvenirs.

Next up was Rothenburg, a very cute city popular for its medieval old town.  We walked along the top of the wall surrounding the city, ate more of our favorite Christmas market treats, and enjoyed the festive atmosphere.

We had a great weekend and are very thankful we got to experience three years of Christmas markets. Such a fun way to celebrate the Christmas season!
