| Holger playing Romeo |
Holger has always been so good about Mother's day for me, even before we had Ella, but he continues to make it special for me. He made a delicious Mother's day lunch we enjoyed while Ella was sleeping and I didn't even have to step into the kitchen, he cleaned up too!
We took a lovely outing to Schloss Stolzenfels = Castle Pride Rock/Cliff, I think my new favorite around here, the surrounding area is incredible! We loved being pretty much the only ones there as well, but learned as we got there after it was closed that they had 2,000 visitors that day as they gave free tours of the castle. Sure wish we had known about that, but we enjoyed it without a tour inside.
It was originally built in 1242, was destroyed and then with noteable architects built for King Friedrich Wilhelm IV in 1836. This wasn't just one of the toll type castles which are the majority here along the Rhine, because of the major trade route, but a real residence! So glamorous! Even what looked like perhaps servants quarters looked fit for a king or queen. There were streams, and the traumpfade = dream trails throughout the area, waterfalls and gorgeous forest.
