Willkommen!

Halo, Frankfurt!  We arrived just after 1000 on 12OCT to a chilly, overcast, but fabulous Frankfurt airport.  Their baby rooms in the airport had enough room for all three of us to change, clean up, and feel human again after endless hours in airports and planes.

I hope this place is ready for us

Biiiiiiig stretch!

 After checking in with the military folks at the airport, we learned we would have about 4 hours to relax and wait for our shuttle to Bamberg.

Zeke napped... and Liam made fun of him.

Liam proceeded to run around, crawl, screech like a raptor, push around luggage, and work himself into a crazy sweat, so we changed him into a t-shirt from Grandma Bobbey and Grandpa Marty.  I think he approved.

Our shuttle showed up and as soon as we started driving away, Liam passed out and slept for the next 3 hours.  Zeke and I tried to sleep a little as well.  I would have tried harder to get some shots of the German countryside, but it was rainy and didn't look as impressive as I know it can.  On our next road trip I'll get some good pics for everyone!

We spent our first night in a great hotel -- the Hotel National -- in downtown Bamberg.  Beautiful place, amazing people (friendly, kind, and they had already set up a pack n play upon our arrival!), and a delicious Frühstück stocked with all of Liam's favorites -- apples, bananas, oranges, yogurt, nutella, eggs, meats, pastries, you name it.  The server even brought Liam a china teapot full of hot milk (with a china cup, no less) and he was thrilled -- he got to have "kahkee" (that's how he says coffee) just like Mommy and Daddy.

Our first 24 hours in Germany?  Wunderbar!  Wonderful!
