Stuttgart Christmas Market

MMMMM fish on a stick anyone?




On the 23rd we went to the Christmas Market in Stuttgart with Joey and Hayden this time. We bundled Hayden in his tights, warm fleece suit, and winter coat. He had a lot of layers on. I am so grateful that we had the cold weather boot for his stroller!
The Stuttgart market was huge! It was a chore to get the stroller through the crowds but we managed. The Germans and Europeans in general are verry children friendly! So actually it was probably easier to get through the crowds with the stroller. Europeans kind of lack the concept of personal space as well. Everywhere you go someone is right up next to you touching you and pushing their way through.
We had fun trying new food again. Joey was a huge fan of the Gluhwein. I could barely choke it down. It took him a while to get used to it but once he did he enjoyed it. I think the glass that you can keep if you get it was a bonus for him as well. We ate rote wurst instead of the brat. It was very good. And surprise surprise Hayden was a huge fan of it. He is not a big meat eater at home but was a huge fan of every meat he tried in Europe.
We got a few things at the market and the weather was a lot more bearable then it was in Dresden.
