So much to see!

There are just too many cool places to visit in Berlin.  This city has so much history.  It was neat to be able to take my family to the place I served my mission.  It was great because everything felt so familiar.  We were able to hop on the subway system and get all everywhere so easily. Here are a few more places we visited.

Charlottenburg Palace. Originally built by Elector Frederick III as a summer residence for his wife Sophie Charlotte in 1699.  What a summer house!




Checkpoint Charlie.  When I lived in Heidelberg we visited Berlin for a scout trip.  At that time the wall was still up.  We were able to cross into East Berlin at this checkpoint.  I can remember the soldiers standing there with guns and having to hold my passport up to the bus window.
