Day 3 we took a boat trip down the Elbe River in Dresden, Germany. It was beautiful and relaxing and the weather was so nice and sunny. I think everyone enjoyed it. I had really wanted to take them on a boat trip from Dresden to the Sächsische Schweiz (Saxony Switzerland). The Elbe River goes through what is called the Elbsandsteingebirge (Elbe Sandstone Mountains) and it is a beautiful area. However, since it wasn't the main summer season yet there weren't any good time frames that we could take the trip from Dresden to that area without being on the boat all day long and we really didn't want to do that. But we were able to see some really pretty sights including castles and a famous bridge called the Blue Wonder (Blaues Wunder). We also got to ride on one of the oldest paddle steamer ships in the world.

I'm glad you guys got to do this! Ed and I have always thought about doing an Elbe boat trip, just never have gotten around to it. Maybe we will before we leave.... ?
Just checking out your blog, April. Good to hear from you. Tell your family I said hi. I'm glad we've been cybernetically connected!
This looks amazing and looks like you all had a blast!! Jason and I have to come and visit, it may be after Chicago but then we could meet Junior too!
I love boat trips! Unfortunately my last one is sooooo long ago... I think I should change that ;-)
