Neckar River Cruise & Fireworks

One of Matt’s old coworker from WI (Dawn Johnson) is stationed here in Heidelberg and work in Mainheim. One day she stopped by our house when she was walking her dog (it is a gorgeous WHITE german shepper)
I love spontaneous visits. I really do. It is like opening your gift on Xmas morning, just a nice feeling to me!
Anyway. We chatted and she was saying that her daughter was suppose to come on the weekend and that she had cruise tickets to go on a Neckar firework display of 4 castle up the river! Then she mentions that her daughter couldn’t make it and offered us the tickets. :0? OMG, we were like??? No way??? Needless to say that we jump on the occasion and we went on a date on the river!
So the next evening. We left Damien babysitting the smaller kids, and went to find our boat.

It was a cruise organized by the Association for Wounded Soldier. Only American soldiers & family. Very nice and friendly. 
