I wrote recently about what the trip was like on our train ride to Paris. Now I’m going to share a bit about our actual time there. The hubs and I had both already been to Paris. It was more than a decade ago, sure, but not much has changed. So we didn’t feel pressured … Continue reading »
While my mom was here, we decided to hop over to Paris for a few days. We took the train, because the 7 of us wouldn’t fit comfortably in our minivan for that long (about 6 hours driving) and the train was slightly faster (about 5.5 hours). It was our first experience taking the train … Continue reading »
My mom recently made a trip across the big pond to visit us here. It was extra special, because she got to meet Hiccup for the first time. Yay! We wanted to show her some of the highlights of the area. Our first stop was Brauhaus Castel, an authentic German restaurant. Then after lunch, the … Continue reading »
Yesterday I posted a few photos of my husband’s guys trip to Normandy. Today I’m going to share a few of the meals that they shared on their trip. Again, I wasn’t there, so I don’t know exactly what these are. I do know that while traveling, my husband goes heavy on the seafood because … Continue reading »
After our fantastic husbands let us all go on a Girls’ Trip to Barcelona, we thought it would only be fair to let them go on a trip of their own. I asked my husband to blog about the trip himself, but he politely declined, so I’m putting up a bunch of photos of his … Continue reading »
I am so blessed that my husband was 100% on board with me going on a trip with my friends. It was an especially wonderful trip because one of my favorite people is moving away, and it was a complete surprise to her. I think that the surprise may have even been as much fun … Continue reading »
Half the reason people go to Italy is to eat, right? Here are photos of some of our dishes while we were there: Every single thing we ate was delicious!
Our 2nd (and last) day in Italy we went South to Pompeii. Pompeii isn’t exactly close to Rome. I knew that it would be a long trek for us to go see it. We spent 5 hours on trains getting there, 3 hours at Pompeii, and 5 hours on trains getting back. It was a … Continue reading »
This was another whirlwind weekend trip — definitely the most exhausting trip we’ve taken so far! We flew Ryanair again, with 3 backpacks (1 with the pop-up bed, 1 with clothes/diapers, and a little tiny one with our ipods and a notebook & colored pencils). The Ciampino airport in Rome is actually a LOT closer … Continue reading »
I know we’ve lived in Germany for over a year now, but we haven’t eaten very much German food since we got here. The reason for that is because it is so SO expensive. For our family to eat a simple meal in a restaurant, it costs 50-60 Euro, or about $75. That’s way too … Continue reading »
