Munich Germany December 2019
We arrived in Munich on December 26 to find that the city was all but shut down.

Nuremberg Germany December 2019
Nuremberg is a cute town right in the heart of Germany. Probably most famous now for it Nazi history and the home of the post-WW2 Nuremberg trials.

For this trip we stayedContinue reading “Disney World November 2019”
Branson Weekend October 2019
Andrew and I celebrated our 6th anniversary this year on October 12. Considering we have 4 toddlers who have never stayed a night away from us, there isn’t much celebrating to be had for us!
