All a girl needs to be a Princess is a castle....

Once Upon a time in a land not so very far away on top of a beautiful mountain stood a magnificent castle fit for a Princess or for a passel of princesses....With sweeping views of mountains and towns below for miles and miles around you could not ask for a more beautiful spot for a princesses castle to be.
  Neuschwanstein Castle I took this photo from Saint Mary's bridge it is a breath taking ~ awe inspiring feeling to walk out on to this rickety old bridge and see this majestic sight....if you have little kids you might want to skip the bridge it is old and didn't seem very sturdy or safe in all honesty the girls were a little scared on the bridge...this is one of the many Castles you can visit in Germany and is an hour away from Edelweiss lodge & Resort...

Where girls of all ages feel like a princess
This photo was taken on the way back from the castle ...my advice take pics on the way to the castle instead once you get closer to the castle it is impossible to get a photo with the castle in the back ground with people..lol also this is a huge castle tour with over 300 steps just inside the castle alone 3 or 4 floors up and down spiral staircases not including the trek to get to the castle ...it is not an easy jot so wear good walking shoes and allow yourself some meandering time to stroll up there before your castle tour..we rode the bus to the stop but it is still an excursion especially when you are bringing little ones with you...


The girls were amazed of the miniature replica of the castle in the glass case...it is absolutely beautiful and so detailed...
like I have said in other blogs it is so amazing this experience our children are getting to have...to be able to say they have toured real castles...castles of King Ludwig to know some history that there is so much more in the world then computers, cell phones, movies, malls, dating lol there is a big world out there full of interesting things to see and do....teenage princess....

How romantic it is to stroll like royalty through castles...to see how royalty lived...throne rooms, ballrooms, living areas and bedrooms that are fit for a king lol.....
sneaky pic of throne room...no comment lol
 A little princess who stopped to take one last look at her castle as we were walking away ....it's not just a fairytale .......
I might sound preachy at times when I say GET OUT & Explore but take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to learn, to see, to travel, to taste, to experience things that you might not of been able to do before getting Posted in Germany or any other country for that matter...
