Kronberg and The Opel Zoo
Hello, Lovelies! Hope your weekend is taking off to a great start. I am excited because for the first time in 10 weeks I am sitting here in my apartment all by myself. Roman and Addy started school on Monday, Avery on Tuesday, and Ivy started on Wednesday. Ivy was not thrilled in the least and for the first two days made a stink and so we had to leave early. Who am I kidding? She made a stink today too, but instead this time the teachers supported me and took her from me and I left. 20 minutes later they called to just let me know that she was OK. They still want me to pick her up early today, but at least she is there without me and I am enjoying the peace and quiet in my home. I will also get some alone time tonight too as the children are going to a church activity and then afterward I have hired a babysitter, so I can do some shopping and go eat dinner.
Kronberg, may not mean anything to most people, but those who are familiar with Queen Victoria of England may know that her oldest daughter married Kaiser Wilhelm IV who later became a king; however, he died 88 days later. She and her husband lived in Konigsberg and today you can visit the place. It is now a hotel.
Kronberg is located just 21 km to the west of downtown Frankfurt in the Taunus Mountains, and from there you have a front row seat view of the Frankfurt Skyline. The town is charming but is not for the faint in heart at times for driving as some of the streets are so narrow that the houses almost touch. It is better to park one's car and walk through a charming little village.
We combined our visit to Kronberg with a visit to the Opel Zoo. I prefer this zoo over the Frankfurt Zoo. Neither zoo has a huge range of exotic animals and at times one might feel they are visiting a really large farm; however, what is really nice about the zoo's is that they have really fantastic play parks. My children really enjoyed being able to feed the goats and playing on the zip line.
Well, I am off because it is almost time to pick up Ivy. I hope you have a really fantastic weekend! What are your plans for the weekend? See you back here soon-Kelleyn
