Cinderella Castle

No, it's not the one in Disneyland. Though, Neuchwanstein Castle is the castle that Walt Disney used as a template for many of the castles we see in Disney Classics. Secretly, I would live there... maybe it's becuase it's ever girls fantasy to become a princess(thanks Kate for ruining it for me) OR it's becuase it's a castle and who wouldn't want to live in a castle?!

Anyways~ Neuchwanstein Castle was commissioned by King Ludwig II of Germany in 1869 and is located in southern Bavaria, Germany. I've wanted to go there for sometime now and the weather was great so we did it! The view was amazing and we where lucky enough to have a tour of the castle Ludwing II grew up in as well; Hohenschwangau Castle. Here are some photos of our trip.
