Beer, bratwurst, and pretzels!!!

Life is good!!! We left in the morning from Madrid and headed to Munich.  For the first time in our journey we are staying in a hotel, and its nice to be here.  There's some of the creature comforts of home and there's a gym, which quite honestly, we all need to visit.

As you can see, we were all quite giddy upon arrival! 

We are pretty much in the downtown area, and we found a fantastic pizza place for lunch then headed to the English garden, Munich's version of Central Park. While wandering we found the most amazing beer garden.  Picture this: large wooden tables, huge mugs of beer, pretzels and pretty much anything else you could want, AND a playground.  Just sitting around drinking-with your kids totally occupied, GENIUS!!  Maybe I don't get out enough, but do places like this exist at home?

After our stroll, we headed downtown and had dinner at the famous Hofbrauhaus brewery.  It was worth a visit!  Music, great beer, coloring for kids and tons of people watching.  We had a great time!

The size of the beers is impressive...

And yes, I finished it!

And this was dinner, now you see why we need a gym!

Tomorrow is a free day for me, so we are headed to Neuschwanstein Castle, the castle Walt Disney used as inspiration.  It's an all day excursion, so it should be fun!
