It was another normal week at home, which around here apparently means finding a few hours to squeeze in an adventure somewhere. Friday was my day off, so instead of doing the things I probably should have been doing at home, I decided to cross a few more things off my Germany list. This timeContinue reading “Week 278: Ebenalp, Switzerland”

Week 277: Barcelona and Andorra
It was another fairly quiet week at home, at least until we left for the weekend. School is back in full force, and Ryan has been busy with schoolwork and hanging out with friends. Work has been busy for me as we prepare for the end of the fiscal year at the end of this month, while Matt has been dealing with plenty of back to school IT issues at work. After a relatively uneventful week, we were definitely ready for aContinue reading “Week 277: Barcelona and Andorra”
Week 276: A Quiet Week Back in Germany
It was a pretty quiet week after getting back from the US on Sunday. We made it through another full week of work and school, followed by a low-key weekend at home, although it ended up being a little busier than planned. Friday was my day off, and I had every intention of getting upContinue reading “Week 276: A Quiet Week Back in Germany”
Week 275: Brooklyn’s College Move-In
We just finished up a crazy week, and it somehow managed to include the first day of school for Ryan, a trip to the US, moving Brooklyn into college, time with friends and family, and even a movie! It was a lot packed into one week, but somehow we made it through. The week startedContinue reading “Week 275: Brooklyn’s College Move-In”
Week 274: Albania
We made it through another week, and we are still trying to figure out life as a household of three while Brooklyn is back in the US. There are less dishes and clothe to wash, but it is also a lot quieter. Matt has been incredibly busy at work with school starting next week, whileContinue reading “Week 274: Albania”
Week 273: Back in Deutschland
Ryan and I arrived home midday on Monday. Our energy was completely depleted after our four hour layover in Munich, but almost as soon as we walked through the door, Ryan had to log into his driver’s ed class, which started at 2 PM Germany time. Somehow, he powered through the exhaustion, and in supportContinue reading “Week 273: Back in Deutschland”
Weeks 269 & 270: Two Quiet Weeks in Germany
It has honestly been a quiet, kind of boring couple of weeks in Germany, not even enough happening to justify breaking this into two separate weekly posts. It has still been incredibly hot, and everywhere is sold out of air conditioners. We already have three in our house, but we decided we have become farContinue reading “Weeks 269 & 270: Two Quiet Weeks in Germany”
Week 268: Liverpool & Manchester
It has cooled off a little in Stuttgart, although not quite as much as we had hoped. The forecast was calling for temperatures in the low 70s this week, but unfortunately they lingered in the 80s instead. Thankfully, the nights were noticeably cooler, which meant our portable AC units were finally able to cool aContinue reading “Week 268: Liverpool & Manchester”
Week 267: Boiling Hot!
Wow, what a crazy, hot week it has been! We got back from Greece on Sunday, but while we were away, a brutal heat wave had settled over much of Europe. Every day this week topped 100°F (38°C), and suddenly everyone I know was Googling, “What is a heat dome?” I’ll spare you the meteorologyContinue reading “Week 267: Boiling Hot!”
Week 266: Five Years in Germany + Crete, Greece
This week started like any other, except we were still recovering from our late-night drive home from Le Mans. Monday was a significant day, though, as it marked five years since we moved to Germany. Technically, my anniversary was back in May since I arrived a few weeks before everyone else. But we celebrate theContinue reading “Week 266: Five Years in Germany + Crete, Greece”
