A few friends have asked us about the pictures in our 2009 Christmas card -- specifically where the different photos were taken. Starting in the upper left: Becca resting in a horsedrawn carriage in Salzburg, Austria. Continuing clockwise: Tower Bridge in London, Micaela at the Tower of London, in front of the Trevi Fountain in Rome, Emilie at Parc Astérix in France, Becca at the base of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, James Easter morning in France, and finishing with the whole family in front of the house where Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria.
The photo on the back was taken in front of Neuschwanstein Castle in the south of Germany. Click on the back of the card here and you can just make out the castle in the mountains in the background. And, no, I did not make up the text of the card. I had every intention of doing so, but I when this verse came up as a suggestion on the Hallmark website where I put this card together, I knew that I wouldn't be able to think of a more appropriate verse.
Never again will we be able to out a Christmas Card showing photos from so many amazing places we were able to visit that past year, at least not to so many different countries. Paris is a five-hour drive from Frankfurt. Drive 5 hours from your average American town and you're still in the U.S., often still in the same state. So many people, while living and traveling abroad, say, "Now I realize how little I have seen of the U.S. We can't wait to start traveling in our own country once we move home!"
