Since I cannot post a picture in a comment...

This is in response to the comment from Flying Dan in the previous post.

Been thinking about....

How quickly to indoctrinate the daughters into the Oktoberfest scene. There are three options that I see available to us:

1. Treat them like little girls and check into the hotel and take a nap.
2. Freshen up upon arrival, and head out to see some of the sites of the city.
3. Drop and run to the Wies'n.

Here's my thoughts:

1. Not appropriate, they are not little girls anymore.
2. An interesting proposal, could stroll through Marienplatz and visit the Viktualienmarkt. Plenty of time for that over the weekend though.
3. This is why we are at Oktoberfest, correct?

So, we all arrive around 8:00-08:30 on Friday, be at Hotel Alfa by 9:30-10:00, check-in, freshen up, head to a tent. It gives them their first view of a somewhat subdued experience that can set the stage for later attendance. Of course we still have the late afternoon pilgrimage to the Hofbrauhaus.

Flying Dan, what say you?  :-)
