Two Kids and a Map

I missed a few days in my 30 days of blogging challenge because Josh and I escaped to Innsbruck for the night on Monday. We had so much fun exploring the city. If you are planning on going to Innsbruck, you only need a day or so to see the major sights. We saw the [...]

On the day after Christmas, we traveled about an hour away to Schloss Neuschwanstein. This is the beautiful castle that Walt Disney patterned his famous castle after. Ludwig the II had this castle built and it was never finished. The tour inside the castle is about 20 minutes. Once you park and walk to the [...]

One of my favorite parts about this trip so far is the plethora of bakeries! There is one on every corner and sometimes there are two or three right next to each other. In Vienna, we stopped at the world famous Cafe Demel to try the Sachertorte. We have tried four different cakes so far [...]

We stopped twice for bathroom trips. I am constantly surprised at how clean the restrooms are here. I have yet to [...]

We got to break in all of our new snow jackets and mittens and such…it is FREEZING here! Quite different from the 78 degree weather we left at home! Sera is not a fan of the snow jacket, but she loves the mittens and pink hat. Seth hates his jacket but wore it when we [...]

Greetings from Garmisch, Germany! Our day started off on the WRONG foot. We arrived at the airport on time but it was too “froggy”, as my son would say, outside for the planes to land. The plane that we were supposed to take hadn’t even landed yet! Fortunately, when we bought the cheap plane tickets [...]
