Frohlichte Weinachten!

We decided to travel to Bavaria for the famed Nurnburg Christmas Markets, the city is also known for the famous Nurnburg Nazi Trials. We decided to stay within the old city walls at the Holiday Inn Nurnburg City Centre and it was a perfect location. We had a great time on our trip, and had planned on heading to Rothenburg Ob Der Trauer, unfortunately nature got in the way. Jackson and I contracted a gastrointestinal virus that wound us in the hospital for the night. We are still recovering, so we have had a low key time since then. Anyway.. enjoy the photos of such a beautiful place!

Our comfortable room :) They even provided a crib

Jackson says.. " I want to go see Christmas lights!"

Headed out!

Family selfie in the elevator

Our continual life of the party
