We haven't taken any trips since Ulm. We have been working around the house and we have even painted some furniture. I am starting to get cabin fever and it's Rick's 28th birthday on Saturday so we are off to explore again. I think we are heading to Dachau Concentration Camp and Munich. This was the first of the WWII concentration camps. I think that this will be really hard for me, emotionally, but I think it's such an important part of history. Munich should be a nice little break from all the sadness and seriousness of the concentration camp.
A couple of weeks ago we headed over to the Porsche Museum down the street. It was a neat museum but we did notice that they did not include anything from the Nazi era. Please note that I am not the huge history buff; Rick is so I report these things as straight regurgitation. Anyways Porsche created tanks for the Nazis and the Volkswagen even started because of Hitler. He wanted a car that could be created for the people. "Volks" means folks/ people. The "v" in German is pronounced with an "f" sound. They also have the volksfest, people's fest- big party. It was pretty interesting to hear some of the history from Rick. It does pay to have a history buff in the house.
Look at me in my new car! Ha!
Rick got really excited when he saw this car. "I had a car like this once." "What are you talking about Rick?" "Well, I had that car just as a Hot Wheel." "Ha!!!"
Well I start my master's tomorrow. Eek! I can't believe I am going back to college already. I'm sure that this time around will be a lot different than the first time around. I doubt that I will be partaking in Thirsty Thursdays! ; ) Wish me luck.
I have been doing some respite care for two wonderful boys. I am really enjoying my time with them and I am seeing a lot of progress with each of them. It's neat to be able to work with them in a 1-on-1 setting. This week I will be checking on my sub application, again. I finished watching Waiting for Superman this week and it re-charged my batteries a little bit. Hopefully I get nice assignments!
