Sorry I left you hanging




Ok so after the European Cup ( to my dismay Germany did not win) we crashed. We got to meet Tess's grandmother, aunt, and uncle. They are all very sweet. Monday we went to the city of Cologne and checked out the DOM Cathedral. It was huge. The art and history in this place was absolutely amazing. We decided to do some shopping and grab a bite to eat before we went back for the tour. Oh and ladies here is one cool thing about Germany, when we were parking in the garage there were spaces with a female symbol on it... yea those spots were reserved for females only. How cool is that. That would probably never happen in America. So we did some shopping and then took a tour or the DOM. After we stepped outside we saw some familiar gold arches... that's right we found McDonald's. Trevor was so excited! I think he had that look when kid's know Santa came when they wake up on Christmas morning. So we ate at McDonald's and then split into two groups to do some more shopping because we didn't want the boys to be stuck with us. We met back a couple hours later and then visited another cathedral the Grob of St. Martin. It was an older church and smaller too. A lot of these places were completely destroyed after WWII. So that ended our trip to Cologne and then we came home, at supper, and Jenny & Mary brought over some movies. The first one was 'I know who killed me' which was very creepy and weird and not just because it had Lindsey Lohan in it. Then to shake of the scary movie we watched my big fat greek wedding. It was so cute. Well that's all for now lots of love.
