A Day in Frankfurt

Since my mom was arriving in Frankfurt last Sunday in the early afternoon, Eric decided to split up the 3-hour drive and go over a day early. We left around 9am Saturday morning, checked into our hotel, grabbed some lunch, then started reading over what Frankfurt had to offer on a rainy afternoon.

(A photo I took of a giant sculpture upon entering Frankfurt.)

We decided on the Natural History Museum, typed the address into the GPS (thank God for that thing!) and were off. About 10 minutes later, the GPS announced "You have arrived!" but we still couldn't tell exactly where the museum was. That was UNTIL we saw the telltale T-Rex in the park. See it through the trees?

Followed by a Brontosaurus.

The entrance to the museum.

We felt like kids running from exhibit to exhibit and snapping photos. Neither of us had ever actually seen dinosaur skeletons before so it was actually pretty exciting. The mammal and bird area was amazing as well.

After the museum we just wandered around on foot and ended up in a very expensive neighborhood. We kept ooh-ing and ahh-ing over all the homes and cars.

That night we ate a great dinner at a big restaurant downtown, walked around a bit more, then got lots of sleep before our guest arrived and our big drive home. I will post photographic proof that my mom is indeed HERE very soon!

Also...Happy Easter!
