Schloss Vianden, Luxembourg

One of my very favorite castles in Europe is Vianden Castle in Luxembourg.  It's not super well known, but it's fabulous.  We hadn't taken the kids there since Taya was just a baby.  This was a first time for all 3 of the boys.  We toured the castle all day & then of course had to take some re-enactment photos of 
"then" vs. "now."


Vianden really is a beautiful castle.













My kids love to just explore the grounds of old things here in Europe.  We love getting lost in the nooks & crannies of old walls, castles, caves, forests.  Europe is so beautiful.







Trek & I have always been suckers for antiques.  Look at this amazing trunk.  Locksmiths were some of the most brilliant people in the world.  How crazy is that lock mechanism?







I love the windows in this castle.  They overlook every valley in every direction.  Though it was quite cold the day we visited, it was beautiful.








The kids were fascinated with the old well & how deep it went down into the mountain.



























And I absolutely LOVE cafe's inside castles.  They always have the best hot chocolate in the world.  It was delicious.




So here are our re-enactment photos from 13-15 years ago.  It's crazy how time flies.




















It was a fabulous day of memories, new adventures, & family time.  If you haven't visited Vianden yet, GO VISIT.  It's well worth the trip.
