it's all part of the experience honey

an hour and a half drive.

temperatures in the teens.

frostbitten fingers and toes.

two swank steak sandwiches.

and one cup of gluhwein.

that was our trip to Heidelberg's Christmas market.

i didn't care how cold it was outside, i was determined to go to a Christmas market this year & try some gluhwein.

the poor hubbs agreed.

so off we went.

 let me just throw it out there that i am so freaking proud of the hubbs. he was able to navigate through the pedestrian packed streets of Heidelberg without a GPS.

we parked, we bundled up, and we walked.

we didn't have to walk too far, but frostbite took a hold of us just after a few minutes.

it was unbearable.

the hubbs got two swank steak sandwiches, i got my cup of gluhwein and then we blew that popsicle stand.

we can now say we have been to a Christmas market and had gluhwein.

i even kept my cup that held my mulled wine.

{i paid my deposit for the cup. no worries.}

exciting, huh?
