How was everyone's Labor Day weekend?? Our weekend was GREAT! Busy, but lots of fun times with friends and an adventure to another country!! I have A LOT of blog reading and catching up to do! Hopefully I can check in with everyone to see how your holiday weekend was!
Here's what the Barretts have been up to:
Friday night we attended a "going away" BBQ for a woman in Jon's office. It was a great time, with LOTS of good food and friends. The woman in Jon's office, Hedy, has been working in Germany for 7 years, and has finally decided to head back home to the US. She's such an awesome lady, it'll be sad to see her go!
Saturday evening we had some friends over for a pizza party. Jon and I found individual pizza crusts at the commissary and thought it was a great idea to have everyone choose their own toppings. We got every topping you can imagine, and the mini pizzas were a hit. Our friends Christine made lasagna and Tara made a FANTASTIC Tiramisu! OH MY Goodness, it was tasty.
Sunday morning we got up early, made breakfast and headed out for Trier, Germany. It's about 2 hours away from our home. Sadly, we were bummed about Saturday's game, so of course the best way to cheer us up, is to take a day trip. Here are some pictures from our day:
Porta Nigra
Downtown Trier
The Cathedral and The Palace
The Palace Gardens
The Roman Imperial Bath Ruins
Ruins and Tunnels throughout the Imperial bath.
It's incredible to think that these baths have been around since 293 A.D.
This bath in particular, is the largest Roman bath North of the Alps.
How awesome to be able to see structures like these still standing, and to be able to explore the underground tunnels that once were the baths. It was definitely a cool adventure.
I think this picture accurately depicts my excitement for our day trip to Trier.
After spending the day in Trier, we grabbed a late lunch and headed for Luxembourg. Jon's grandfather fought in WWII in Luxembourg, so it meant a lot to him to be able to see this country. Tomorrow we'll be back with pictures and little tidbits from our trip there.
Hope ya'll have a great Tuesday!

I did hear about Saturdays game and quite honestly I was very suprised. You are so cute in that picture of you jumping in the air. If I did something like that I would so frame it. :)

Hi! I'm a new reader who just stumbled across your blog today. I had to comment to say that your pictures make me really want to visit Germany! It looks gorgeous! I especially love the pictures of the tunnels. :)
Oh man, I wish WE could have taken a day trip to recover from the game! We went to church the next morning and of course that's all everyone wanted to talk about! Poor Sam. I hope he's not permanently injured, even if he's out for the season. Beautiful pics, as always. And the pizza party sounds like an awesome idea.
Jumping pics are the best!!
