Bad Durkheim wine fest

This weekend was the beginning of one of Germany's biggest (1 million people annually) wine festivals which also happens to be only about 45 minutes from our house. We've gone two other years, but had really nasty weather both times. Today we woke up to perfect cool, crisp temperatures and blue skies so we decided to make the trek. We got there early so it wasn't too crowded and drank some great wine while the boys had fun on the rides. The vineyards were gorgeous with the vines full of fruit and the leaves just starting to change color.
