Dresden + Freiberg

As we've been a part of different teams & adjusted to living the basketball lifestyle, I've learned that our time isn't really ours. Life hinges on basketball & the schedules that are given to us. Whether something is planned weeks in advanced or comes up last minute, we have to be ready to adapt and go with it. 

Justin checked his schedule in October and found out he had two days off in a ROW! Unheard of. We took advantage and planned our next overnight temple trip. 

We headed to Dresden first and walked around the city. The sun was out and it was so fun to be in a new place together. I love my boys!!!


Logan was promised ice cream for being such a good boy in the car so we found ourselves at the golden arches.


I loved Dresden! There were lots of open cobblestone plazas, colorful buildings, and cute shops. I haven't been to many German cities outside of Berlin, so it was fun to explore more of Germany. 








We found a store called Weihnachtsland (Christmas land), and bought a Weihnachtspyramide. It had been on our bucket list to buy one before moving and we found the cutest one with Santa pulling his sleigh.


On our way to Freiberg, we stopped in Freital for a little pumpkin festival. I really wanted to do some sort of fall, pumpkin activity together and this was perfect!







I don't know if I'd call them mountains, but these hills we drove through to get to Freiberg were BEAUTIFUL. It was the funnest drive through lots of little German towns with the prettiest fall leaves.



We woke up the next morning and spent the day here at our favorite place. I love, love this temple. It will always be so special to us. I hope we get to come back here one more time before we leave Germany. 





Best two days off ever!!
