We just spent a FABULOUS 4 day weekend in Berlin! We had such an amazing trip and really really enjoyed spending time with our friends, The Jamieson's. Will, Julie, Jett, and Gunnar were such fantastic hosts and we can't wait to meet up with them again soon. The adults had so much fun catching up and staying up WAY too late every night (like 2am). We're still recovering. The kids had a blast hanging out with Jett and Gunnar-- Addy was very sad to leave. We also explored the city and enjoyed some of the sites. Berlin was very interesting in that just the layout and architecture of the city was different then what we are used to seeing. Parts of it are very modern (built in the last 10-15 years) and other parts were very sterile and run down (original Soviet buildings), and than other parts were typical German architecture. On the first day Will and Julie gave us a driving overview of the city. We stopped to see the Brandenburg Gate, and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. We also enjoyed a nice dinner out with the 4 of us (kids stayed home with a sitter). Jeff and I also spent a few hours out on Saturday without the kids. We were able to visit Checkpoint Charlie, parts of the Wall, and enjoy a nice lunch. We also had a great Easter (post below). We had such a great time that we hope to visit the Jamieson's at their next assignment in Africa!

Just another fun slumber party over the weekend:
