Image
We are on a trip to a place that we don’t want to miss Lili and Baag are excited to see a flag that is Swiss

Germany

Image
We met Uncle Shane in Hedelfingen town For only one night did we lay our heads down Then off to Baden-Baden to meet friends and explore The hikes and a spa and there was much more Lili and Baag checked out the Lowenbrau pub While the Grandparents and Shane got some grub We drove narrow streets in Uncle Shane’s German car Then back home to Stuttgart, it wasn’t too far

Journey by Train #1

Image
Lili and Baag are on a train! We are going to visit Uncle Shane Our train was very slow today So the conductor said find a different way. We sat in Schwandorf with our suitcases Looking at trains to take us places! We had some choices I’m happy to say And quickly we got underway. With good German train information We will soon pull into Stuttgart station

The Charles Bridge and Fair Trade Market (National Art Gallery)

Image
The Charles Bridge is the heart of the city In both rain and sun it is very pretty We went to the National gallery of Prague The Picasso was the favorite of Baag The Renoir was to Lili’s taste So many paintings we had to make haste

The Old Town and (Not So) New Town

Image
The Old Town in Prague is almost 800 years old The New Town is only 700 I’m told Lesser Town and Castle Town are part of this city. All very old and all very pretty. An astronomical clock in Old Town Square Performs every hour for all the people there While we waited for the clock to chime We ate a potato cake to pass the time . While they waited for the clock to make some noise. Lili and Baag visited local toys.

Prague and Prague Castle

Image
For Lili and Baag is was quite a thrill To visit Prague Castle on top of the hill They met some shiny armored knights And enjoyed all of the castle sights

Learning our Way Around Prague

Image
On Saturday with Lili and Baag We walked the cobblestone streets of Prague The weather was quite rainy and wet So Grandpa’s pocket was the best spot yet Many buildings that we did see Had an interesting history  Grandpa ate Goose Soup and found it quite yummy It was traditional Czech food that warmed his tummy

Jet Lag in Prague

Image
The continuing adventures of Lili and Baag Who left Washington and are now in Prague We left on Thursday and without much warning When the plane landed it was Friday morning! Ten hours of flying and nine hours off the clock We haven’t adjusted to the time change shock We are sleepy in the daytime and wakeful at night It’s just one of the perils of international flight. While Grandma and Grandpa are moving slow Lili and Baag, well they are ready to go This jet lag stuff is really quite boring It’s time to go out and do some exploring!

Traveling Toys

Image
Grandma and Grandpa are going some places But we can’t fit grandkids in our suitcases Instead they loaned us small friends for our trip.   Into our pockets, these travelers slip. Travelling toys may seem kind of silly But Luke gave us Baag and Sam gave us Lili We are now on a plane and the flight is departing The adventures of Lili and Baag are starting!
