Trains, towers, fancy cars and of course WATER!

Dresden has a HUGE park, which also happens to have a train in it that takes you around, so the family was up for that. I read in a tour book that kids get to drive it around, but then we found out that "teenagers" are the conductors, so that's what they meant when they said "kids" drive it around. Bummer for us, but it was still fun!

This park was packed with kids...

Then we decided to head back to the center and tour the "Frauenkirche" or main church. The picture of this church after the bombings is extremely sad- there is only one wall left standing and everything else in ruins. But- there is the church again... beautiful.

And, of course carriages outside of it, but this time double decker!!

And, Martin Luther :)

The place is stunning inside, but also packed with tourists, so we spent 1 minute inside and then decided to climb the tower to the top to get a view of the entire city.

The walk up is the nicest walk I've had up a church because there are no stairs- it's just a ramp on the outside with great views of the dome, and then a couple of steps to the top top.

When we reached the top, the views were stunning.

Wouldn't mind this being my downtown :)

Emilie taking a walk on the wild side- I couldn't get her off this ledge... she just kept on walking around and around, even though it was a little freaky.

After the tower, we sat down for pizza (me, a salad- and yes, I am still gluten free. It has been hard, though. Food allergies are the worst on vacation.) German kids must have been on camp in Dresden because they were flooding the city.

"To your health!"

As a game during lunch, the girls decided to watch all of the carriages go by... Emi was super cute. "Mama! Lots of horsies!" or "Mama, more horsies!!"

At 3, we booked it over to the Volkswagon factory for a super cool tour of how they make cars...

I guess they make most of them in Asia, but they make a certain type in Dresden- 54 a day. And- these cars are pretty expensive- 101,000 Euro each. Ouch.

But, they were really nice! You can drive automatic and stick- whatever suits you. Super nice interiors. Ah- the smell of leather was dreamy.

After the factory, we walked across the river to see if there were any restaurants... but ran into this fountain instead... so off the clothes went, and they had a blast!

Supa big diaper!!! YEAH!

The three girls loving this fountain (Yes, I wish I could strip down like this too. It was a hot day).

After a couple of weeks in Germany, all any of us wanted was sushi- so that's where we went- and it was really good, but not as good as dessert. I ordered a chocolate/vanilla/strawberry dessert- and it was SOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOD. There was 1 scoop of vanilla, and the rest of it was 3 cups of strawberries and then chocolate fudge. I am going to make this again when I get home. I wish I could have one RIGHT NOW!
