Adventures on the Autobahn

This last weekend, we took a trip to Legoland here in Germany. We decided to treat the kids to two days at the park. Jeff found a special on the internet and so we decided to make it our big trip for the two week break. On our way to Legoland, about an hour into our drive, Jeff and I noticed that the other side of the autobahn had suddenly become empty with cars. This was odd as it was the first day of break for the Germans and we expected there to be heavy traffic. As we kept driving, we started noticing a heavy police presence on the overpasses and many helicopters flying overhead. It then occured to us that we were exactly where President Obama had come while he was visiting in Germany. I grabbed my camera and started fliming what we saw. You can see a row of dark SUV's followed by 1,600 police on the other side of the autobahn. The video is a bit hazy because we are traveling fast so you may need to view a few times. It was pretty exciting for us.
