🇩🇪 Proof I Made It to Berlin | Family Eurotrip Kickoff!

Our first stop in Europe—Germany in autumn—hit us with crisp air, stern efficiency, and that iconic Berlin gravitas. But nothing prepared us for the emotional wallop of seeing history come alive... 📍 The Shot That Says "Berlin" 📸 East Side Gallery: "The Kiss" mural (Mühlenstraße 3-100) — where Cold War leaders locked lips in socialist solidarity Chills moment: Tracing actual Berlin Wall fragments I’d only seen in textbooks ❄️ First Impressions Airport vibes: Germans really don’t smile at customs (but their trains run on time!) Golden October: Pumpkin-spice-colored leaves vs. concrete brutalism 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Why Bring Family Here? 1️⃣ Holocaust Memorial: Kids asked tough questions; we answered honestly 2️⃣ Reichstag dome: Glass = "transparent government" lesson 3️⃣ Currywurst stands: Bonding over questionable condiments #Berlin #GenerationalTravel #ScreenshotHistory
