I see. Sounds nice.
One question: Aren't you going about a month late? Oktoberfest will be over by then.
Ok, serious though. If you're into art, there's two museums right across from one another in Munich that are a couple of really nice ones. I highly recommend this one
Alte Pinakothek [Museum] . It has a lot of significant paintings in it (the Rubens are my favorite). Of course the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam is nice too. Wait...I just remembered something. You said you were taking your dogs. Museums and dogs may be a bit difficult. Not sure how you'd pull it off, unless you left them at the hotel. Either way...have a good one and let us know how it goes. I'm jealous.
