[color=purple]well even tho today is my birthday my family took me out to a really cool dinner last night. It was a Midieval Dinner held in a real castle (Chochem
Castle on the Mosel River)and played out just like a real knights dinner would have been, it was so unbeleivable the way they painted the walls and ceilings to look like wall paper and it was only paint, we got a small tour of a part of the castle , a souveneir cup and they sang happy bday to me thanks to our tour guide, i turned bright red. lol. my hub took lots of pics i hope they came out i will post some of them if they did. it was pretty dark inside so it was hard to tell. The only part i didnt care for was an uphill climb almost straight up for about a half a mile, if i had not had my son along to pull me part way up near the top i would prob still be somewhere on that hill!!! lol
If anyone else ever gets the chance to go to one i highly reccommend it , even the kids had a good time!! 
Happy Birthday 
sounds like you had an awesome time bet it would of been so cool to go tour through an old castle and dinner there.
the only bad thing was the walk up it was almost straight up, thought i was going to drop dead halfway up.lol
in aug we took a trip to Paris for the weekend and did a bunch of sight seeing we got to spend 4 hours in the louvre it was awesome i have like 5 floors of Egyptian pics, the next day we went to the Eiffel tower but our daughter was sick so i sat under it while hub and son went up in it, then we went up the morsel river in a boat when it started to get dark to see it all lit up. it was really cool.oh we also got to walk and shop the Champs DE Elysee’s , and went in the church of Notre Dame , and saw the Arch DE Triomphe.
oh and ty for the bday wishes
Happy belated birthday! That sounds like an awesome way to celebrate your special day! Best wishes!
