We had a pretty nice adventure today in Weinheim, not too far from Heidelberg - first in a while and it’s spring break so it was very nice and refreshing even with all the walking.  The boys got the chance to walk two really cute spanish dogs - and loved it:

And we saw some beautiful Sequoia trees - not native to the area (planted around 150 years ago):

As long as the boys were walking the dogs on the leashes - they were great, but if not they were too tired to walk, LOL…Liam and I on the trail:

And we saw some cool buildings - this is a mausoleum inside the palace grounds:

And a cool door to the mausoleum except for the graffiti:

And we were able to take some breaks - this is on a cute little street in the town (see next photo):

Street View:

And then we visited an old castle (mostly ruins) - view from castle:

And we went up to the tower:

But Aodhan and I were the only ones who made it (Liam was a little scared)…and Aodhan wanted to be goofy - serious one second and laughing the next:

And here’s another photo of the castle ruins:

So we had a great day and are very tired - the boys actually fell asleep in the car on the way home and Liam got a bit car sick on the ride up to the castle, but overall awesome day!
