Father's Day in the Black Forest

Once again, not our typical Father's Day. Usually we head to church and then Silver Lake to celebrate Father's Day with my Dad.  (Happy Father's Day, Dad - can't wait to see you soon!). So, with only a few weeks to go until we head home, we decided to zip down to the Black Forest.  It's hard to believe we live only four hours from the Black Forest and haven't been there yet.  The forest is beautiful!  It is so much different than where we live in the Rhine Valley.  So, we did some hiking, rode a mountain coaster, visited a waterfall, saw some cool towns, and saw a ton of cuckoo clocks (the largest one, in fact, the size of a small house).

Black Forest Cake - we tried it, but it is NOT our favorite dessert.

Hopefully our mountain high will get us through the next few weeks of school and packing!
