Military Base Visit

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

May 8th is a national holiday so we signed up for Americans in Alsace's Ramstein base tour. I thought tour meant we would be able to look around. Turned out, we never got out of the bus!! That was hard on the kids because it took awhile to even get there and then we got out of the car, only to get on the bus. Too much riding.

What saved the day was when we stopped at the Zweibrucken Outlet Mall. Wow! Really cheap stuff and a really nice setting. I bought a ton of stuff, including an overdue wedding present and a certain type of pot that was too big to get in the U.S. and never was under 200 Euros in France. I was very specific (i.e. size and induction friendly) and found the exact item I'd been searching. Davina got some shoes and there was a great Body Shop with almost half-priced things (I'm a confirmed customer of theirs').

I am definitely NOT a shopper so for me to spend so much money and get excited about it was a rarity.
