So, It's been few weeks since we have been back from our long-awaited trip to Europe and with so much to do to get the house ready to sell, I haven't had much time to post, but I just couldn't put it off any longer. We went to Germany, Austria and Italy for a couple of reasons; to visit my parents who have been serving a mission for our church for the past year as well as a graduation trip for Michael and me. We went to so many places so fast, I don't think I can really cover everything in less that 3000 words, so I will just post the pictures and let them speak for themselves. Some captions will be provided for further explanation. I hope you enjoy!
One of the many, many castles we saw along the Rhine River in Germany. We saw at least 12 of them! They were so beautiful, even the ones that were in ruins.
Michael and me at one of the castles in Germany. You can also see another castle behind us through the huge doorway.

Innsbruck, Austria. Absolutely Beautiful!

The Cinque Terre region of Italy. We stayed in Vernazza and I think this was my favorite part of the entire trip. It was amazing!
Along our four hour hike through the Cinque Terre. Michael and I ended up seeing all five towns. They were adorable!! You can kind of see one behind us...
