Berlin Trip

Well to say that this was not the best vacation would be an understatement. We decided to do 2 nights and 3 days in Berlin over Matt's block leave then go to Ramstein for another 2 days. We wanted to do so many things! Walk along the wall, visit Checkpoint Charlie, the parliament building, the zoo and aquarium, etc etc etc. Well we did two of those things. Why? Because the entire trip Roman was sick. Sick with what we don't know but he just felt crappy. As in screaming every hour of the night then crying any moment you weren't moving with him during the day. Not eating any baby food (but still drinking thank goodness). He would vomit when you tried to feed him. We were so exhausted from our horrible nights that we ended up taking naps all morning long and not leaving our hotel til early afternoon! The first day we did make it to Hard Rock for dinner and the Berlin Zoo and Aquarium. Both are fabulous but not so much in the dead of winter. But it was cool how close you got to the animals! Roman snoozed in his stroller through most of it (until we had to eat lunch and then of course he screamed because we weren't moving). That night we were tired so we ordered in room service and just laid in bed!

The next day we slept all morning again and then went to Checkpoint Charlie. Not as exciting as I was expecting but that's how a lot of things in Europe have been. We did get pictures and went to the museum but learned that museums and sick babies don't mix. So much for learning some history! It's ok Roman...we still love you!
That evening we walked up the main street outside our hotel and into this HUGE 7 story department store KaDeWe which had every famous designer imaginable aka nothing we could ever in our lives afford! But still fun to wonder around. And drool at. Then back to our hotel early again.

We were so tired of not sleeping that we decided to skip Ramstein and get home. At least at home Roman is in his own room and we can shut the door and get some sleep! So that's what we did. Only the very minute we got home the stinkin booger perked right up! Slept through the night and woke up ready for his baby food. Kids...
