Ladies and Gentlemen.... Introducing...

Ladies and Gentlemen.... Introducing...


"The President of the UNITED STATES"
After police units every 40 feet on our way to Landstuhl and after a very thorough search of our car by a VERY BIG DOG! We crossed the line into Landstuhl Military Hospital. Where President Obama had planned to visit injured soliders. Even though he might not have gotten our vote... we were still very excited for this opportunity that we had on Friday night. Who would have ever thought that we would see our PRESIDENT in Germany. I know you can not actually see the President... but he is in that car.
How did all this happen. Well it all started when we picked up our first visitor "Rachel Powell" in Basel, Switzerland on Thursday night. We walked around Basel on Thrusday night and then headed back to our home. On Friday morning Rachel, Kora Lily and I got up and went to visit Germany's Highest Waterfall and the Cuckoo Clock area. Then we picked Sam up at work and headed to Landstuhl to visit John Emch (which is Rachel's cousin who is stationed in Germany for 3 years). Little did we know that the President would also be joining us for the evening. The security was amazing and we had a wonderful time with John and Rachel. John showed us around base (well the areas we were allowed to walk on) and then we went to town to eat at a great Italian resturant. We then dropped Rachel off in Heidelberg. She returned home to the states today after traveling in Europe for 4 weeks. Kora loved Rachel riding along with her in the car and we were so happy to see and spend time with friends!!!
