We headed South in 2 cars...Strasbourg was our first stop, I was excited to see the famous cathedral lit up at night. The only trouble was the sunset is so late...we had to go at 10:30 pm to see it lit up...very late for Greg! Only Kelly was up for it from the kids, the rest stayed back at the hotel.
They had a cool outdoor screen setup and a movie about the cathedral projected onto it...
What a beautiful place!
We tried Tarte Flambee for dinner, which we told the kids was like pizza...they were not fans but were hungry by the time we ate...
In the morning we headed for the area called Petite France...
The houses and little canals were gorgeous.
I liked seeing this boat coming through the lock...
We headed back to the cathedral to see the inside...
Amazing stained glass windows...
Here is a fascinating video that shows the stained glass windows in the crates in the salt mines being recovered by the Monuments Men...

A touching tribute to our troops...inside the cathedral near the gift shop.
There is an amazing old clock inside the cathedral, it was currently being restored but it looked like a marvel of its time!
We were on the hunt for coffee and decided to try this crepe place...we found the meanest lady in all of Strasbourg...who did not want us in her restaurant! Everyone is laughing as Kelly tries to capture a photo of her for me!
Here is the grumpy waitress with her back to us!
Relaxing in the lawn before we start our drive to the next stop...the Zuern house!
I snapped this photo of a shop that was decorated for the World Cup...as it turned out they would have much to celebrate!
My friend Myev also kept a blog of our trip...here is a link to her post about this stop....
