Munich MLK Ladies' Weekend

When mid-January rolls around, it's time to round up my ladies and go on our annual getaway!
This was the 10th year for the MLK Weekend Girls' Trip. 
Sherri, Melissa, and Madds are the 10 year queens. This was my 6th trip.

We enjoyed a delicious brunch and then wandered to the biggest beer garden in the city: Hirschgarten
Gluehwein and beer delivery!
What a perfect Sunday afternoon: keeping warm by the fire as we watched some locals curl. It even started to snow :)

Happy 14th Birthday, Emma!

There is a 14 year old in the family!
