A Weekend In Dusseldorf

We were invited to Dusseldorf by one of our friends and we stayed in his father's apartment. There were 8 adults and 1 child so it was a tight squeeze. This was Stephanie's 2nd trip to Dusseldorf and Rick's 1st. It's mainly a shopping and partying city, but it's cute, especially along the water.
We took a boat ride the first day. That evening the gals and guys went their separate ways b/c the guys wanted to watch the England vs France Rugy match (Our friend, Clive, is a huge fan). Luckily England won that weekend. However, they later fell to South Africa in the World Cup.
The following day, we went to a castle that was just outside of the city. The castle, itself, was nice, but we all enjoyed the gardens even more. After a nice, relaxing walk around the grounds, we stopped for some lunch and then had some fun running through a maze of tall grass and hitting each other with reeds. I know, you would think that there were 8 children and 1 adult present!


Sara, time for your medicine!!!
(In Gabriella's defense, this shot was posed. She was actually just drinking water. It's amusing none the less. It's the first of the "Bad Mommy" series)

Shot #2 of the "Bad Mommy" series: Even apple juice looks like beer in Germany!





Things turned ugly just after this shot.







Les Femmes





I think these would make a nice arrangement.
