Wiesbaden Wine Festival

After a quick rest, we headed to the Wiesbaden Wine Festival - beautiful city (and delicious local wines)!

we made it!

After a long, mostly uneventful flight, we made it to the Frankfurt Airport! Oncle August met us at the airport and we headed to the Dorn's for a wonderful German breakfast followed by a lovely walk by the Rhine river.
