Our whirlwind tour of Germany, Austria





Over Labor Day weekend, we joined my dad and brother and Jason's parents for a whirlwind - can you say two countries in two and half days - tour of Germany and Austria. We primarily went there to attend The Passion Play in Oberammergau, Germany. This production is put on every 10 years. It's a six hour live play about the life of Jesus Christ. We decided to go the night we arrived. It worked great in that we were able to buy tickets on the spot (that's rare), but boy it was cold and the jet lag hit me like a ton of bricks during the performance. The play was so inspiring. We loved Oberammergau. I especially enjoyed the little Christman boutique where we purchased a couple of ornaments. It's a tradition for us to collect a Christmas tree ornament from each place we visit. I got the idea from my Uncle Chad and Aunt Pam.
