Last year, I was a parent chaperone on FG’s class trip. We took a leisurely boat ride up the Main River from Würzburg to Veitshöchheim, Germany ~ about a 3km ride. It was a gloriously beautiful spring day. I almost didn’t make the trip due to my allergies with the blooming flowers. May is my favorite time of the year in Germany because it’s so beautiful but my sinuses hate it.
Once we got off the boat, we had a picnic at a playground which was located along the river. We then walked to the Summer Palace of the Würzburg Prince Bishops to enjoy the Hofgarten. The Summer Palace was built in 1680 and the garden has lakes, water fountains, a maze, over 200 Rococco style sandstone sculptures and wonderfully blooming flower beds. If anyone reading this still lives in the Würzburg area, PLEASE take a trip to see this town ~ it’s well worth it.
One of my favorite sculptures ~ a boy and a goat:

And here’s the BEST 2nd grade class 🙂
What a great trip!
