We took the kids to Stuttgart, too, so they could go to one of the biggest toy stores and spend some of their own money, to take in some sights by foot and to get some more books for Katharine and me.
Another view of the Stiftskirche.
Katharine in front of the Schiller statue at Schillerplatz. Schiller was one of Germany's great poets and playwrites and lived around the same time as Goethe in the 1800s. Both were essential writers of the Storm and Urge period in Germany. He was born in the nearby town of Marbach and probably every major town in the Stuttgart area has a statue or a square named after him.
Back at Oma's house it was always fun to enjoy a jelly filled donut, or as it is called in Germany: Berliner.
Anita and I took Anna, Katharine and Kassidy on a nice tour through the Ludwigsburg castle/ residential palace. I think we also did some shopping, what else?
