My 20th Birthday!

My 20th birthday was on Nov. 10th! Yippeeee I am no longer a teenager, although it feels weird to be this old! This was the first birthday of mine that me and Tyler have been able to spend together in 4 years! It was a great day and he spoiled me! We traveled about an hour and a half to a village called Darmstadt and went to Frankenstein's Castle. Yes it was the actual Frankenstein's castle, or at least the guy that the story of Frankenstein originated from. We watched an episode of Ghost Hunters where they went through this castle that is supposedly haunted, so it was pretty cool to know the story behind it and be where people thought they had heard or seen ghosts.


Frankenstein's Castle! It is mainly ruins now, but the chapel and two towers are still standing. 


The entrance and walkways up to the castle. 
The chapel. Many people claim to have heard and seen things inside of the chapel. 

This is one of the statues inside the castle. 
This is one of the towers still standing. It is said that there is a ghost inside of the tower that throws rock on people as they are walking under it because he is mad that they are at his castle. We didn't get hit with any rocks while we were walking under it, darn! 


This is the other smaller tower. This is the lab where he would take the bodies that he had dug up and he would do experiments on them here. 


Walking up to the laboratory tower. 

Inside the lab where he dissected bodies and performed experiments and witch craft. It was a little bit creepy in there! 


The view from the castle. It was super foggy that day which added nicely to the whole creepy effect of the castle! 

After the castle we headed back towards home and stopped in Landstuhl to eat. We ate at the Cockpit Lounge which is like a really nice steak and schnitzel place. It was delicious! We then headed home and Tyler gave me my present and made me a cake! It was a wonderful birthday and I am so glad I got to spend it with Tyler. I'm the luckiest girl! 



My present! I'm so excited for my mixer and can't wait to make lots of yummy food with it! 


The chocolate cake with chocolate frosting that Ty made! 

My boys singing me happy birthday! I love them! :)
