Our Saturday in Germany was our busiest! Omid and I were both battling bad colds and actually slept in later than we wanted to, so we got a late start to our day. We took the train from Heilbronn to Leingarten where Daniel and his daughter Jasmin met us. Omid and I have known Daniel for years, but this was the first time we got to meet his family.

Back seat selfie with my new friend, Jasmin!
Fun fact: Everyone smiles in the same language. ☺ |
 |
Daniel, Jasmin, Omid and I went wine tasting at the Rolf Willey winery.
So different from wine tasting in the US.
Fun fact: wine tasting is FREE and visitors can taste as many wines as they want.
Wine tasting in Leingarten can be an all day affair!
|
 |
Such good sport!
We spent a fair amount of time at Rolf Willey and Jasmin didn't complain once! |
 |
What bottle should we try next?!
|
After we were finished tasting & purchasing wine, we picked up Anne & Leonie and headed to Schloss Ludwigsburg.
 |
Fun Fact: Schloss Ludwigsburg is one of the largest Baroque style palaces in Germany.
The palace grounds was host to a large pumpkin festival. Jasmin and Leonie were really excited about visiting.
Fun fact: Kurbis is pumpkin in German! |
 |
The gardens at the palace were beautiful! We saw several couples taking wedding photos here.
|
 |
Not to be outdone, we took our own selfie!!
Fun fact: Right after this photo, Anne took her first, ever selfie!! ☺ |

After walking the palace grounds, we headed back to Anne & Daniel's house for a dinner of yummy raclette!
 |
| Both girls helped to prepare the feast. |
 |
| ☺ |
 |
| Leonie made everyone name tags. So sweet! |
 |
| Jasmin hamming it up for the camera! |
 |
So much delicious food!
Daniel purchased every type of German sausage available and we tried them all!
