Germany {Christmas Market Girls Trip 2016}

At the beginning of December I got to go on a Girls Trip to Germany! A bunch of ladies from church got together to go on it (there were 9 of us total). It was super fun...the Christmas markets were SO amazing! It was so Christmasy and pretty! I miss all the Christmas decorations...Spain has some but nothing quite as awesome as Germany....like a postcard! So quaint and adorable. I loved it!

We got in pretty late the first night so we stayed close to the hotel and then left on our way the next day. We spent most of the day in Rudesheim at their Christmas Market...which was my favorite! It was a little town right on the Rhine River. It was such a cute little town!!! Little streets with lots of cute German buildings, Christmas lights everywhere and Christmas trees everywhere! It was perfect!








They seriously had Christmas trees evverrryywhhhere! It was so cute!

random table outside of a restaurant ;) 







Hot cocoa! It was pretty cold so we had lots of cocoa :) 







SUPER cute little store, forgot the name but everything was gorgeous!!










We did drive on to another town later that afternoon, to Weisbedan. We stayed there for the rest of our stay and went to that Christmas Market that evening and then that following day. It was more of a city so that market was in the main city center. We enjoyed most of the morning/early afternoon walking around there before heading off to the next town! ;)











we found some waffles, unfortunately not liege ones but still pretty good :) 


these were SO GOOD! It was some type of potato pancake that they fried and then you dip it in apple sauce :) YUM

all of us! :) 





Lifesize German Pyramid! Super cool

Right next door to this town was Mainz, which had a Christmas Market too. We went there that evening so we could see it all lit up and to eat dinner...which was a bit of an adventure...everything was full or needed reservation so some of us ended up going back near the hotel to eat. It was still fun to walk around the market though! It was super pretty too....not as quaint of a town as Rudesheim but not as much of a city as Weisbedan.

yeah I suck at the duck face ;) ;) ;) 




another German pyramid! This one was even taller!


I loooved all the Christmas stalls! So many nativities and awesome Christmas stuff. I brought home so much! 


and of course the lights were gorgeous!







Sunday morning was our last day...some of us went to breakfast in Mainz at this church that was renovated into a restaurant. It was SO YUMMY! And so pretty inside!

inside the church!




YUMMY breakfast! so much food but sooooooooooo good



On our way back to the airport, we stopped at Rudesheim for a SUPER quick run into town...mostly for yummy food ;)



this is what we went back for....they make it fresh right there for you...it was AMAZING! I wish i had gotten it before the last day so I could have gotten it more than once! 










just being silly in the car ;) 


Soooo my November/December was full of traveling pretty much! Back to back to back basically ;) I enjoyed each and every one of them and am so blessed and excited that I've gotten to go to so many amazing places!
