Dad had a work thing in Berlin during our "ski week" break/Presidents Week and Cameron didn't have any dance commitments...so we ALL went to Berlin with Dad. It was a pretty short trip, only a week, but we had a great time and made the most of it!
In Frankfurt waiting for our connecting flight
We stayed near Potsdamer Platz.
The Ampelman
In front of our hotel
At the first dinner....I had to try it.
The hotel gave us pineapple sticks as a treat. They also gave us cookies, but we gobbled those down.
The wall.
In front of the Konzerhaus Berlin at the Gendarmenmarkt....we were wandering around before our chocolate class
Mom signed us up for a chocolate making class at Rittersport Chocolate...it was okay. First, the class was in German...though she did eventually realize we didn't understand and then spoke English...and 2nd...the class was for little kids...and Cameron was a little annoyed. Ha. Oh well, we got to make 2 chocolate bars with whatever toppings mixed in.
At Rausch Chocolates...having hot chocolate and fondue. Very very dark chocolate. Whoa.
Checkpoint Charlie
Funny little cars.
Part of the wall at the Topography of Terrors.
Walking to the Deutsch Technik Museum
Potsdamer Platz at night...and raining a little
Breakfast - it was buffet and included with the room!
Alexanderplatz
Titus - skateboard shop...we just had to visit.
Hackescher Markt
Well, what do you know? Another Titus store!
Ka De We...it's too big.
We had a pretty good dinner here.
Jewish Memorial
Brandenburg Gate
Inside the Reichstag....even though they remodeled the building b/c it was bombed....they saved these charcoal writings...Russian soldiers wrote messages.
The dome.
At a mall called Bikini Berlin...it backs up to the zoo and in those rocks are monkeys...I think they all ran for cover because it started to rain.
Our breakfast was so big that the 3 of us (Dad was at work) usually had an afternoon snack....this was currywurst and fries...but it was raining...oh well.
At Markthalle Neun...a food market. On Thursdays, they do dinner...foodtruck style.
At the Pergamon Museum....at the gates of Ishtar.
Our last day in Berlin...was freezing. It even snowed a little.
Berlin Train station
The wall.

Did your Mom tell you about an incident at Ka De We (1990)-we were shopping there and a young man kept looking at her and following us and finally your mom told me in Chinese there's this guy following us. Sure enough I saw him too and he came over to ask me if he could buy your mom a cola. I said Thank You but no. He followed us to the top floor cafeteria and saw Kungkung waiting for us - he disappeared! Your Mom was freaked out that time!
That was me, I bought Michelle a Fanta in the KaDeWee atrium cafe.
