A very untraditional Easter
Posted by Kristen on Apr 15, 2012 in Family Fun, Travel, Traveling with Tots | 1 commentThis year we spent Easter Sunday making our way home. We woke up and made a nice breakfast and then packed up and hit the road. I think it was the first time in my life that I have ever not been in church on Easter Sunday. For those of you that celebrate Easter and believe that Jesus rose from the dead you know what a wonderful celebratory morning Easter Sunday is. It is something we celebrate year round but there is something special about celebrating as a church family! So, I will admit, our nontraditional day was a bit off. But we enjoyed being together as a family and made the most of it.
On our way back to Ramstein Seth decided that he wanted to stop at the Waterloo Memorial and then in Luxembourg for our picnic lunch. It was a beautiful little city and as we drove down the main road we spotted an amazing park. It was the first day we had had clear skies. So we hopped out and let the boys explore for a while. It had a big wooden pirate ship, ginormous slide and a really cool water system.
By the end of our time we thought Jackson was going to opt to stay and live in the park, finding sustenance from the remains of picnic scraps. Oh wait, that was Seth. He loved it as much as the little guys!
Tortugas, and waterfalls, and pirate ships. Who wouldn’t want to stay?!
