In Bingen Germany There is a Restaurant... Barbie Went There!


She looked so chic in her little red jacket, there was a chill in the air, and she choose her black vinyl boots, Her cute leggings were red with red lace inserts.  The long sleeve top matched.  The jewelry was silver, and her hat was soft white with a little bling.  The restaurant was Greek, and in Bingen, Germany on the Rhine River.
 

This lovely place to eat is now a favorite of Barbie! 

There are gardens and fountains just outside the eatery.

There are mountains and vineyards on 
the other side of the Rhine River.

And there were people coming from a Medieval Festival too!

Everything was interesting and fun!

It always is in Germany!







There she is peeking around the corner by the front door at Restaurant Delphi!





We Were Here, We Were There, We Were Everywhere!

You might recognize this spot...  Hint, it is time to buy groceries.



Yep, it was the four of us buying groceries at the Commissary at Wiesbaden.


Then on Saturday... we were here...


So where's Barbie???

And Where in Germany is Barbie Now???


Here's a hint, she is in the hotel hallway right outside our room in this picture!


We were in the mountains in a small town with lots of flowers!


There were dolls everywhere!


This picture is of the dolls for sale in a shop at the hotel where we were staying...


Might get a better look at that hotel... then you can see All the dolls...


I think even closer...


Closer still...


There's Barbie...
But exactly where is she at?

Well the story involves a real life Bavarian King, and a real life castle...

The New Swan Castle on the Rock...

More tomorrow of the fairy tale which goes with the real live king, 
and this real castle in the mountains of Germany!


The story begins, "Once upon a time,"

And believe it or not.... this Barbie is in the story, and she is in my basement 
in the Barbie Room in Germany too!


No it isn't that Barbie!  But she is there too...



No, no, no, that's not her either... 

Hint:  Sissy!

Tomorrow ladies...

The Barbies Are Going to Be Traveling Europe

I have started taking the Barbies with me on our trips out into
 Germany sight seeing...  They are wonderful ambassadors!

So in that spirit when we rented a little convertible this weekend, and went to Wiesbaden shopping, two of the girls went along.  These two dolls represent one of my grand-daughters Gabby, and a beautiful little friend from church whose name is Princess!  I think it is just so kool to be named Princess in real life.  The real Princess of course is much prettier than my Barbie Doll, so is my grand-daughter Gabby!  However the dolls made new friends at the Wiesbaden PX and commissary.  It was back to school weekend here Germany, and there was face painting, balloon fun, and all kinds of other booths at the PX.  As I said, the girls and I had great fun... even my husband Randy was amused and entertained by the interactions we had!







Boy, riding with the top down makes a mess of your hair!











Face painting was our first stop.
The girls made a pretty new friend!












The balloon sculpture lady was also very friendly!





The Harley bikes caught their eye too!




All girls love red Mustangs...

My Barbies Have Arrived in Germany!


I am so HAPPY!

And finally the flooring has been completed in the basement
room I had planned as their home in Germany.

What wonderful ambassadors they will soon make!


They had to move to the living room during the renovations downstairs...

Just wait until you see the space I am creating for them!

Soon girls, very soon!

She is an excellent designer.

The grand-daughters will love these videos!

One of my Barbies is waiting anxiously for me to make some of these...

She really needs them!


I am going to Texas, and Gabby and I will be making some with my grand-daughters!

Isn't this artist talented!

        

I Am a Fan of These Videos!
