The Real Fairy Tale Castle

We live with a 3-year-old princess.... So, where did our last trip of this school year take us?  To see the "real" Fairy Tale Castle!

We drove five hours to reach Neuschwanstein Castle, just outside of Fussen, Germany (just minutes from the Austrian border).

This castle was the model for the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland (California), and the castle in the Cinderalla animated film (the scene where Cinderalla looks longingly through her window at the castle as she dreams of heading to the ball and meeting Prince Charming).

More on our trip through Austria to reach the castle and coming back home later...but for now enjoy the highlights from our fairy tale experience!

(Normally you can walk out on the bridge to take photos of the castle, but the bridge was closed for repair.)
