Our day in Munich (By: Jacob)

When we were in Germany, we stayed at my mom's friend's house, right outside Munich. My mom's friend, Tara has four children (all boys) so we were excited to finally be able to hang out with kids, especially Luke and me. On the weekend, we went to a beer garden, which was awesome and then on Sunday, we climbed a mountain called Blomberg. 

We played with the kids on the weekend and then on Monday, when the kids were in school we got to spend our first day inside Munich.

The first place we went to was a plaza with the famous Glockenspiel. I didn't enjoy the Glockenspiel performance, because  I thought it was boring and my neck really hurt after tilting my head up for 10 to 15 min. 

The next place we went to was the FC Bayern Munich Stadium, called Allianz Arena.  Bayern Munich is one of my favorite soccer teams so I was really excited. At the stadium, we were lucky enough to take a tour. I really enjoyed the tour because we got to go to see all these places that I would never be able to see if I went to a game. On the tour we got to see the the field and learn a little history. 

My favorite part was seeing the locker rooms and the place where the broadcasters from each country sit and report about the game. I still wish we were able to get on the field, but we couldn't because they were cleaning up after the weekend's matches.

We went to the FCBM museum and learned even more about the history. Finally before we left, we went through an awesome room called the GIFT SHOP. I got a hat and scarf.  

Finally the last places we went to were the BMW Welt and the Olympic Park. At the BMW Welt there were a bunch of different BMWs, Mini Coopers, and Rolls Royces that you could get in.  There were also some games we could play.  Maggie, Luke and I spent hours playing the games. My favorite car was the one that might be on the road in 10 years, called the BMW i8Concept, because the outside of the car had really cool designs, and it was an electronic car (like a Tesla).

Finally, the last place we went to was the Olympic Park. At the park, there was not a lot to see and do because the stadium was closed, but we did get to see the pool where Mark Spitz earned 7 gold medals.  I spent our ride home deciding if it was my best day on the trip, or up there in the top three.  I think it's top three.
