On Saturday night Jason and I went out to dinner at a castle about 30 minutes from our house called Burg Lichtenberg. Our friends from Okinawa Lon and Jan kept the kids for us and they couldn't of been more excited. They love to go to their house and hang out with them. Lon and Jan were so sweet and even had a little easter egg hunt for them. Which they really enjoyed! The castle is 425m long and is the biggest castle ruin in Germany. The castle was built around 1200 and was owned afterwards by the counts of Veldenz and by the dukes of Palatinate-Zweibrücken. The castle was never conquered or destroyed by assaults. It was severely damaged by a large fire on 26 October 1799.
It was a beautiful, romantic place to have dinner and enjoy a night together without the kids. We will definitely go back in the summer when the weather is a bit warmer. It would be fun to spend a majority of the day exploring more of the castle. Jackson is all about knights these days, so for him to walk around a castle where knights used to live would make his day.
I loved spending one on one time with my hubby...he is the best!!
