Another Monday and I seriously can’t believe that I have been home for almost three weeks already ๐Ÿ™
It’s going way too fast.
I hope you all had a great weekend just like we did.
I thought that I’d share some more sightseeing photos with you today. Are you getting tired of them yet? If you do then I’m sorry but I don’t have anything else to share with you right now.

Last week we went to Aschaffenburg. While we have been there many times before, we never took the kids to see the Pompejanum. What is it, you ask ๐Ÿ˜‰ well let me explain:

Inspired by the excavations in Pompeii, King Ludwig I of Bavaria had this building constructed from 1840 – 1848 in the form of a Roman dwelling house. The frescoes and mosaic floors of the colourful rooms were designed according to Roman patterns.

It was so interesting to see how the Romans used to live and the kids really enjoyed it. Of course their favorite part was the toilet. Go figure!

Aschaffenburger Pompejanum

The building provides a very apt background for the exhibition of original art works from the State ancient art collection. There are Roman portraits, statues and decorative marble pieces, a kitchen, business and living rooms, objects from daily life and further objects from ancient households.
The presentations are complimented with comprehensive documentation on the history of Pompeii.

I loved looking at all the mosaics and ceiling paintings.

Of course we also had to visit the castle again, which we have been to before as well, but the kids never grow tired of it. I thought that maybe you’d like to see it too.

Aschaffenburger Stiftskirche also got a visit:

Aren’t they cute? But you probably saw this already on Instagram, didn’t you?!

And lunch at “Schlappeseppel”:

My son can’t get enough of soups, not kidding. I could wake him up in the middle of the night and he’d eat it

Like I mentioned on Friday, we are going on a little trip until Thursday or Friday and I don’t know when I’ll be able to post. Sorry!

Tschüß

    Yes, I love the history and wish my history teacher in school would have been better. It’s so sad to say that they bored me to death. Now I love history and wish they would have made it more interesting for us as kids ๐Ÿ˜‰
    The columns are sandstone and that’s what gives them that dark color. Aren’t they cool?

    This post sort of cracked me up…the liked the toilet the best, the dancing, the fact that your son loves soup and would it eat it in the middle of the night! So funny. Glad you are having a good time!

    I’m loving your “tour” ! I will never get to experience these places and this is a treat!
    When we are kids, we don’t appreciate the history around us through school! You are opening your children to this history is a great way….
    Enjoy your trip this week…..

    Is there anyone else around??? You guys look like you are the only ones there! All that history is amazing and the kiddos are so cute…I love the shielding of the eyes from creepy paintings. lol! It looks so gorgeous there and I think it is pretty incredible that you are able to show your kids all of these almost magical places. If I was your daughter’s age, I would totally be wearing my ball gowns everywhere and pretending I was a princess! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I am no way tired of these beautiful pictures of your trip!! I thoroughly enjoy every last one of them. I will probably never go there in my life, so seeing through you is the best I will ever get. {I don’t like to travel} I noticed those white columns are dipped! How funny! The new trend isn’t so new after all. I love all the architecture of this beautiful place, you are so lucky to see it so often.
