(Wow! That's awesome)

*Emma insists on starting out early to be sure they're in the first tour of the day at the castle, having boned up the night before on all of the castle facts she could find on Aunt Svetlanna's computer*

Bastian Schmitz (Aug 23, 2011 9:12:33 PM)
*The Day trip away from the hotel and the Sept for the happy family was a pleasant drive through the forested hillsides of Germany. They park at the bottom of the hill to take the tour from the village below the castle. Bastian gets out of the small rental car and opens the doors for the ladies.* So? Expert Emma? Why was the Castle built again?

Elise Schmitz (Aug 23, 2011 9:14:01 PM)
Em: *going for the front seat at Elise's insistence so she could play tour guide* It was the family home of the Hohenzollerns....they became emperors of Germany. *nodding sagely and hopping in* *Elise smirks at Bastian before climbing in behind her*

Elise Schmitz (Aug 23, 2011 9:36:10 PM)

Bastian Schmitz (Aug 23, 2011 9:36:25 PM)
( He took out the weak leg)

Elise Schmitz (Aug 23, 2011 9:36:54 PM)
(oh boy. he didn't get hurt did he?)

Bastian Schmitz (Aug 23, 2011 9:39:13 PM)
(No he is fine... Everything went CRASH around him and he was under the table right as rain)

Elise Schmitz (Aug 23, 2011 9:40:38 PM)
(at least he was ok)

Bastian Schmitz (Aug 23, 2011 9:41:15 PM)
*With a peck on Elise's cheek he closes the door and walks around to get in the other side. He starts up the small car with a smile and a bit of a laugh.*

Elise Schmitz (Aug 23, 2011 9:42:00 PM)
Em: Dad, what are you laughing at? I told you the right answer....*flipping through her little guidebook*

Bastian Schmitz (Aug 23, 2011 9:43:14 PM)
I'm laughing at this tiny little car. I feel like a giant in a clown car... *He motors them out onto the road.*

Elise Schmitz (Aug 23, 2011 9:45:51 PM)
*Elise grins at him in the rearview* *Em laughs* You do look a little silly, Dad....maybe you should have let Momma drive.
