In Monschau With ChessMan, TheGirl and the Pups September 11, 2008

Sometime last summer ChessMan, TheGirl and I packed up the pups and took a day trip to Monschau, a picturesque German town located almost smack-dab on the Dutch border.
The first time I ever heard of Monschau was when TheGirl went there on a class trip many years ago. There is a large youth hostel at the top of the hill, and that’s where the kids stayed. She had a great time while there, and still has fond memories of the town and their adventures there.

Just so you don’t get the idea that I either head off to the hills by myself or in the company of ChessMan, I decided to share some pix I took on a trip TheGirl and I made together for her birthday a few years back.

I mentioned in a previous post that I was in the habit of giving myself the luxury of a few days’ worth of escape each year for my birthday. The first year ChessMan and I were together we ended up going away together. After some searching and much indecision, we ended up in the northeastern part of the Netherlands in a town called Haaksbergen.
The hotel where we stayed was a located in a very rustic setting, surrounded by fields and meadows with grazing horses and the like. As you can see, ChessMan is forever making new friends!
