It felt great to cap off our European adventure by going back to the park on this beautiful day.
Caroline enjoyed eating hot pretzels with Janna and Annika:
Exploring the Chinese pavilion:
Pat and Elke at the Chinese garden:
Pellet and Cheezer took this picture to convince the rest of the rodents that they visited China over spring break:
I had been looking forward to seeing German squirrels again, but this is the only one I found:
We stopped at each and every play area, but the castle ruin was an especially big hit with the kids:
I even got in on the fun at one playground:
It took at least 3 people to get me into and out of that thing! (The video cuts off the tale end of my comment, which was: "This is cheaper than champagne!")
After we left the park, we went to our favorite Mannheim restaurant for a farewell dinner. I almost couldn't find the website for Zur Kurpfalz, because we just always called it "the schnitzel house." It felt so good to be back that I couldn't resist taking pictures of some of the food. This is Elke's salad:
I can't remember what Pat's dish was called, but it smelled wonderful:
And my beloved Schnitzel Wilddieb:
We stopped by an ice cream parlor on our way home where Annabelle attacked her apple strudel with great gusto:
Michelle got the Spaghetti Eiss she has been waiting 20 years for:
I had Spaghetti Eiss myself, which was the perfect end to a perfect vacation!

I love that "uni" pic of Mike and AB, too. That's possibly why I have an 8x10 of it in my office. What a great trip you had!
My favorite pictures were AB surfing and the flock of Babushkas.
