Rothenburg Part III

Vince's new ride!
I like the addition of the basket.
This is classic!
Our Hotel...

Rothenburg Part II

I swear this is in Rothenburg and not in Seoul somewhere.
This picture doesn't do this justice.
Walking the walls.
View of the continuing wall (from on top of the wall).
Yes, the door to a dental office!

Rothenburg Part I

Rothenburg is a walled medieval city and anyone that has been there looooves it. Vince picked out a really cute Inn just off the center of the square. The highlight of our trip was definitely the 8:00p "Night Watchmans Tour"... his descriptions really put you back in time and afterwards you have a completely different vision of the city. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rothenburg_ob_der_Tauber
We walked the walls surrounding the city.
Schneeballs or pastry dough w/ prune liquor rolled in a variety of sugars. English speakers call them....snow balls!
Ahhh a happy man!
The Town Hall

To Rothenburg we go!

Vince took me to Rothenburg and this was just getting there.
We made it!








Major Promotion - Vince

Vince was promoted a few week ago on 6 August. COL Patterson (hospital Commander) and I pinned him in the waiting room of the Bamberg Health Clinic. Soooo long Capitano Myers - hello...Major! This ceremony was followed by delicious Vanilla/praline ice cream cake from Baskin Robins ;) (I thought that was important to note).

Summary of Vince's career.
Last moments of being a captain (the 'ATTENTION' part).
Out w/ the old...

in w/ the new.

Here is....MAJ Myers
OR you can refer to me as Mrs. MAJ Melanie Myers (totally kidding..I like all the M's)

Jilly - busted.


Oh my God, they know I can read.

Myers Reunion in VA




In late June we met Andi and the kids in VA where we hit up an animal park. Hilarious! Note: All these animals are rescued and the funds from tourism keep it going.
It's the camel he couldn't catch in Afghanistan! I do think the camel has other things in mind tho :) A lil kissy maybe?
Yes, the animals put their heads into the bus...funny and scary at times.



The Myers Clan!

The zebra is really confused.

April - July Home :) Part IV



Vince returned from Korea in June and we were fortunate to have John & Peg offer us some R & R at their incredible 'camp' (it's sooo much more than a camp). We relaxed, sat around the fire and rested up before our next leg...
Kickin it w/ the goose in the 'kini ;)
A lil touch up on the ol' 80 spf (by the way, she loves the attention).


April - July Home :) Part III






I know...I just have one more 'Part' after this! Promise ;)

Camping w/ Neena & Popster in Greenwood...

What a good husband (our anniversary).
Memorial Day!

Jen & Stefy!

April - July Home :) Part II




After the Outerbanks I hit up Western PA to visit the family, NYC to see my girls (again, having too much fun to take pictures).
Double trouble! Isn't Hoagie a hunk of burning love?

Jillster and Meemaw (my dad's mom)

My mom and grandma, Neena.

Vanessa's fabulous Upper West side apartment!


April - July Home :) Part I


I returned in April to attend Abby & Kerry's wdg bash in the Outerbanks :) FABULOUS! I only have a picture of the incredible house Abs rented for us b/c well...I was obviously having too much fun to carry around a camera.

My visit to Saegertown...Deb & I + the son & grand-dogter :) Hoagie or 'Hoaguie' loovees the Jillster.

A lil BBQ w/ the parents and my mom & I canoeing :)

I know it's hard to tell in this picture but she really does miss her dad (she was just really loving my parents back yard).

Jilly & Granddad go fishing! haha ;) - Boiling Springs Lake
