Norway trip

We had a fabulous trip to Holland, Norway, Germany, Holland and Belgium in May, 2007. We took Joe's Mom, Ruth Emig and her friend, Vi Long and dragged them all over Europe! They were great sports and we had a blast! We cruised on the beautiful Celebrity Century all through Norway to Joe's ancestor's homeland and then drove through the other countries on the autobahn with the help of "Brenda," our trusty GPS Tom Tom. Here are some pics....

Vi Long and Gramy Ruth with their handsome escort!

The magnificent Neuschwanstein Castle near Fusen, Germany in Bavaria. This is my new Happy Place and my dream is to take all of my grandchildren there to experience the magic of it. It was truly breathtaking and you all MUST go!!
This is Burg Eltz, a castle in the Mosel Valley of Germany, near the Rhine Valley. It is very, very old, and 1/3 of it is still inhabited by the family that owns it. It was so interesting to wander through the many rooms and see how they lived back then. THIS is my second favorite castle!

MOM! You did it!!! I love the pictures, and you seem to be a natural at getting them all positioned with the text. I think you just might have officially entered the 21st century...
