Friday Field Trip!
Actually it was a Thursday field trip, but that's because we had a dentist appointment today! (No cavities) So yesterday after we visited Steve (daddy and husband) at the hospital where he is recovering from back surgery, we went to a fun German store I had heard about- Gourmet Haus Staudt. I was expecting a small store with a tiny café, but this place was awesome!
They had German snack food and mixes, knick-knacks and gifts, cuckoo clocks, more types of beer than I could count, fresh pretzels, sausages and even some cool hats. It was a really fun little shop. I wish we hadn't had lunch at the hospital because they had a German Bier Garten (Beer Garden) in the back where they served sausages and pretzels and sandwiches. I'm still not eating carbs but the pretzels looked amazing!! I know where I'm going when I need some carbs :) 
Speaking of "fun to say"-
Let's Learn Some German!!
German was once the unifying language of Central, Eastern and Northern Europe. It is still taught in many areas outside of Germany as a second (or third) language. German also has the most native speakers of any language in Europe. So we should learn some....
