One again, February was a busy month away from home for us (I swear things are starting to slow down!) We spent the first couple days of February at our favorite local getaway, Gaston’s White River Resort. If you aren’t familiar with Gaston’s check them out HERE. As always we enjoyed our cottage, trout fishing,Continue reading “February 2020 Wrap Up”

Paris France January 2020
If you have a fantasy like dream of visiting Paris sipping espresso and eating macaroons beneath the Eiffel Tower in a picturesque setting then I advise you to stop reading now. I too had romanticized Paris. I took French throughout school as my foreign language and was smitten with it. When cheap flights to ParisContinue reading “Paris France January 2020”
January 2020 Wrap Up
It seems like I get more and more behind every month with these posts. Better late than never, right? January 2020 started off with major jet lag! We spent the last 15 days of 2019 in Germany and arrived back in the States just in time to catch the new year and be totally thrownContinue reading “January 2020 Wrap Up”
Baby Jogger City Mini Double Stroller Review
A few years ago in 2017 we were at Disney World with one of our old crappy double strollers (we’ve had a few) and we saw a man get on the bus and fold his stroller flat so effortlessly. I spent the rest of the bus ride trying to figure out what kind of strollerContinue reading “Baby Jogger City Mini Double Stroller Review”
Getting Around Germany by Train
Germany has an amazingly efficient and expansive country-wide rail system. You can go basically anywhere in the country quickly and cost effectively. Your public transportation options include high speed ICE trains, regional trains, S-bahn, U-bahn, Trolley/Street cars, and city buses. Germany also has long distance buses but they are not as efficient as train travelContinue reading “Getting Around Germany by Train”
Munich Germany December 2019
We arrived in Munich on December 26 to find that the city was all but shut down. Apparently this is called the second day of Christmas and is still celebrated as a national holiday just like Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Who knew? We had planned on visiting some of the museums and monuments inContinue reading “Munich Germany December 2019”
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. We chose Nuremburg as our location to spend Christmas because it’s also world famous for its huge Christmas market! Spread out all across the city center is aContinue reading “Nuremberg Germany December 2019”
Köln Germany December 2019
After our leisurely train ride from Berlin we made it to Köln around noon. Köln has really easy to use public transport, but we had accumulated so much stuff in Berlin we were over loaded with bags and decided to just take a taxi to our apartment. We had a really amazing airbnb apartment inContinue reading “Köln Germany December 2019”
Berlin, Germany December 2019
After a whirlwind of a process trying to get to Germany we finally touched down in Berlin at 11:30pm on a Tuesday night in mid December. Berlin has an awesome public transportation system, but Tegel airport is pretty far out of the city center. For our family of 6 with 4 of those being 4Continue reading “Berlin, Germany December 2019”
9 Hour Layover in Lisbon, Portugal
Our 2 week trip through Germany started out rough. Very rough to be exact. Our first flight was 2 hours late which caused us to miss our connecting flight which caused a 24 hour delay in all our plans. Thankfully we were able to sip some sweet lemonade from those lemons and ended up gettingContinue reading “9 Hour Layover in Lisbon, Portugal”
