Shortly after Lucy’s graduation, John’s cousin Kaitlyn graduated from high school in Stuttgart, Germany. We made the trip over for the ceremony and were able to spend an extra day there with family. I had a great time and I know John enjoyed the break from studying 😉
Kaitlyn graduated from an American high school on the base there. She heading to the US Air Force Academy this fall (actually, this summer for training). We are proud of you, Kaitlyn!

Graduated!
With the graduate!
Everyone!
The next day, we were up bright and early and off on our next adventure: a Rhein River cruise. Well, I say we were up early. Most of us got up and into the van and went back to sleep while Aunt Linda drove us to the port. We got on the first boat out and cruised up the river to Boppard.
So pretty!!!
Aunt Linda, Jake, and Kaitlyn enjoying the ride!
Leaving Boppard–such a cute town!
Then we stopped in St. Goar to check out some cool castle ruins and hit a few shops, including a shop with the world’s large cuckoo clock and beer stein!
Exploring the castle!

After visiting St. Goar, we hopped back onto the boat for a final time to head back to the port where the van was waiting.
One final glance down the river…
It’s hard to believe we spent less than 48 hours in Germany this trip–we saw and did so much!! We had such a great time, Sanborns. Thanks again for having us!!!!
John and CB's Most Excellent Adventure
