Our weekend in Berlin!

We had such a good weekend! Our friends invited us to go to Berlin on Thursday and it was such short notice that we weren't sure if we would be able to go or not but we decided why not and went anyway. It was one of the best trips that we've had. We've already been to Berlin once, about 3 1/2 years ago, before Chunky was born. We woke up on Saturday and hit the rode at about 9:30ish (we had to stop at the hospital and see one of Ed's soldiers before we left) and got to Berlin at about 12:30ish. Only a 3 hour drive, not bad at all! We checked into our hotel and our friends had gotten there a few minutes prior. We all then hopped on the subway and headed over to checkpoint charlie. Layla and I got out passports stamped with all 16 different/original stamps at the checkpoint, how many 2 1/2 year olds can say they have that in their passports? The rest of the day we just spent seeing all the historical spots and having a great time. At dinner we decided to head on over to the Hard Rock Cafe and let me just say, it was so good! We even bought Layla her first Hard Rock shirt! As soon as we walked into the restaurant and she heard the music she would not sit still. For the two hours we were there, she was dancing the entire time. After that we walked backed to our hotel and fell asleep, we were all beat. The next morning when we woke up, I made Ed go walk over to Dunkin Doughnuts to get us breakfast. Okay, after not ever eating a real American doughnut for months (since we were in CA last) they tasted so good! That plus a white chocolate mocha and wow, I was in heaven! After we got up and got ready we then headed to the zoo for the rest of the day. Layla wanted to look at the fish the entire time so that's pretty much all we saw. We tried to get her to look at monkeys but she would just yell at us and say "I don't want to see the monkeys!" Little brat! After the zoo we did a little bit of shopping and then headed home. It was so much fun!
