Ramstein Ramblings ...

1. Cinnabon is awesome.


2. Actually the entire selection of food on Base is awesome. I can get Chinese. I can get Chili's. Today I went through the drive-thru of a Popeye's! Oh glory be.


3. We were able to get a slightly bigger rental car today. This will allow us to fit the stroller in the trunk, stick Veronica inbetween the boys without crushing her, and hopefully give the boys a tad more leg room.


4. I booked my "spa" day -- my Mother's Day present from JB for next week!


5. I have been put in contact with four other women who are storknesting here. Not sure if anything will come of these emails, but it is at least nice to know I am not alone in my life here.


6. The Base pool is open after a month of maintenance. It ... is ... awesome. I paid $35 for us to have a family pass for the month. This allows Veronica, me, and the boys in any ol' time we want. They have an entire "kiddy" section. They have these great floaty suit things the boys can wear. Elijah is still nervous, but Isaac is a total fish! He loves it. It's a fantastic activity for us as I can float around in the kiddy pool with them. Veronica and I can also take turns going over to the "adult" pool for some lap swimming. (Don't worry -- I'm taking it very slowly. Just trying to get a little bit of activity in.)


7. Yes, I am aware of the food "issues" here in Germany. Apparently there has been a pretty serious e-coli outbreak. They are not serving raw vegetables (tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, etc. at any restaurants on Base.) Thanks for the heads up those of you who emailed me.
