On Sunday we hopped a train or two and ended up at the well reviewed Deutsches Technikmuseum. Apparently this museum was around back when Marty used to come to Berlin to visit his grandparents and had always wanted to go. I don't think he ever came as a child and was thrilled to be able to bring our kids here.
It really was a pretty cool museum with enormous old trains, plains, machines and other new and old technology.
The kids have impressed me with their museum interest
and engagement. We have been to many museums since we arrived and they are always much more interested in it all than I would have originally thought. The museums here are also very reasonably priced and they often have a family ticket. I believe this is a cultural thing, a societal thing - to value information and education and make it accessible to the general public in a way that education and museums are not accessible to the average in Seattle.
After the museum we went to our old/new favorite Italian place by the hotel that we used to stay in when we visited Berlin in the summers. It has super good food at super cheap prices.
We get 2 pizzas (about the size of an American medium on very thin crust) a salad, a pasta bolognese, Benjamin gets a kid's schnitzel and fries which is definitely adult sized. And all of that for 20 Euro. Marty and I are both so cheap that we do believe the food is truly good but the price makes it taste even better. We remember sitting at this restaurant outdoors in the summer. Obviously, there is no outdoor seating now but we will be back in the Spring or Summer and sit outside.
Fun filled family Sunday in Berlin.
