Birthday Celebration


Although we celebrate our birthdays every year, some are more significant than others.  Turning 12 is definitely a big one.  Eddy had specific ideas about hpw he wanted to celebrate this birthday.  He wanted to go to a "fancy" dinner, so Mom and Eddy went to Vivaldi, a beautiful restaurant in the Schloss Hotel which is a former manor on the edge of Berlin's largest wooded park, the Grunewald. 

At the hotel entrance - no, we did not arrive in that Bentley.
The fancy dining room...


Fancy drinks ...

Fancy chocolate mousse dessert



Reason to smile: chestnut mousse with blackberry sauce


Relaxing with a full tummy on the lobby couches...

The birthday celebrations continued on the weekend with bowling, and enjoying the awesome fall weather.

This  is how you throw a strike; look at the form and concentration!

After working up an appetite with bowling, we headed to Eiershale (Eggshell), our favorite local restaurant.  The fall weather was beautiful and we ate alfresco.  










Since it often gets chilly as the sun goes down, German cafes and restaurants have blankets for their customers!

The day ended at home with cake (Orea ice cream!) and presents. 

Sparkling grape juice and a glass of Prosecco for Mom and Dad to celebrate their accomplishment
