Week 52: Garmisch

Another week has flown by! My parents are still visiting and have been staying busy, going on lots of long walks through town. One day, Matt took them into downtown Stuttgart and they rode the double decker tourist bus. Tuesday was my first day back in the office since covid! It was actually great toContinue reading “Week 52: Garmisch”

Week 51: More of My Parents’ Visit

We have had another non-stop week! It started on Monday when our new Peloton was delivered. We have been on it almost every day so far! My parents have been staying busy, walking all over town and going out to lunch in our village. The weather was rainy in the evenings, but Thursday we tookContinue reading “Week 51: More of My Parents’ Visit”

Week 50: My Parents Are Here!

My parents arrived for their first visit to Germany on Wednesday. We picked them up from Frankfurt Airport and we have been non-stop ever since! After they got a nap, we had dinner at our favorite restaurant in town, the Seegärtle and it was awesome, as usual. On Thursday, we let them take it easy,Continue reading “Week 50: My Parents Are Here!”

Week 49: Fruhlingsfest!

Another week! It went by fast; the kids each had fieldtrips this week. Brooklyn went to a fossil pit with her Biology class to dig for fossils. She was able to keep everything she found including some fool’s gold. Ryan went to a trampoline park with Adventure Club from school. Both came home super excitedContinue reading “Week 49: Fruhlingsfest!”

Week 48: Easter in Budapest

This week was a special week for Brooklyn; she had her eighth grade dance! She wore her beautiful, red dress that we shopped and shopped all over Stuttgart for last weekend. She met with some friends to finish getting ready, and they all went to the dance together. Brooklyn said it was an awesome night.Continue reading “Week 48: Easter in Budapest”

Week 47: Is it Spring Yet?

Compared to the last couple of weeks, this was definitely a slow and boring week, but we really needed a quiet week to catch up on stuff at home, work, and school. To answer, the title question, it definitely is not Spring yet in Stuttgart; it snowed three times this week alone and has barelyContinue reading “Week 47: Is it Spring Yet?”

Week 46: Spring Break Part Deux

On Monday, we started the second leg of our Spring Break trip in France. We drove along the northern coast of Belgium and into France. This region of France, called Hauts-de-France, is one that we’ve never been to before and didn’t know much about. Well, this region didn’t look like any pictures of France weContinue reading “Week 46: Spring Break Part Deux”

Week 45: Spring Break Part 1

Our week started out pretty busy. It was the last week of the third quarter for the school year and we spent every free moment in the evenings trying to help the kids complete projects and final assignments. Thursday was officially the last day of the quarter and we cannot wait for a fresh startContinue reading “Week 45: Spring Break Part 1”

Week 44: Bahrain

This week I had the opportunity to travel to Bahrain for work. We definitely stayed busy during the day with work events, but were able to do a little exploring in the evenings. I didn’t land in Bahrain until 2am, so my first look during the day was after I woke up later in theContinue reading “Week 44: Bahrain”

Week 43: Nuremberg

Another late and quick update! Last weekend, we finally made it to another city on our short list: Nuremberg. The kids had a long weekend from school, so on Friday we made the two hour drive to the city. Our first stop in Nuremberg was the site of Hitler’s infamous Nuremberg rallies. The main museum,Continue reading “Week 43: Nuremberg”
