We had the best week ever on Spring Break! I don’t think any of us realized how much we really needed a sunny vacation, but we did and we are all going home feeling truly refreshed. It started on Sunday morning, after about an hour of sleep after the wedding, the night before. There haveContinue reading “Week 98: Spring Break in Marbella”

Week 92: Garmisch
Matt spent the week recovering from his surgery. It was a constant rotation of ice packs, exercises, and medications. He was feeling a little more normal by midweek and was able to get some schoolwork done. Tuesday, the maintenance man returned to finish up our bedroom. It was really frustrating that they finished 95% ofContinue reading “Week 92: Garmisch”
Week 89: Matt’s {Broken Leg} Birthday!
Oh man, what a week this was. It was Matt’s birthday week. We were originally supposed to dog-sit for some friends, but they had a change of plans. Since the loud drying machines were still running, and Matt and I have been sleeping on the couches in the family room, we decided to plan aContinue reading “Week 89: Matt’s {Broken Leg} Birthday!”
Week 87: Tromsø, Norway!
Last week was one of our most boring weeks and this week was pretty crazy! The ‘excitement’ started on Monday when a heating worker came to fix the radiator in Brooklyn’s room, which had been broken since before Christmas break. He came and banged on the boiler and banged on her radiator and it startedContinue reading “Week 87: Tromsø, Norway!”
Weeks 84 & 85: Back in the USA!
We were back in Maryland for almost two weeks for Christmas! We celebrated Christmas Eve, Christmas, a wedding, and New Year’s Eve with our amazing friends and family and spent most of the rest of the trip running around. This has definitely been the hardest goodbye so far, even more than when we first moved.Continue reading “Weeks 84 & 85: Back in the USA!”
Week 83: Christmas in Alsace
Week 83 flew by as it was the last week of school for the kids and Matt. We got an early snow storm during the week. We woke up Wednesday morning to four inches of snow. In true German fashion, all of our neighbors had shoveled the sidewalks in front of their houses by 7am.Continue reading “Week 83: Christmas in Alsace”
Week 81: Innsbruck
After our marathon trip last weekend, we had a really quiet week. We had grand plans for almost every night of the week; to go to Christmas markets, trivia night, and for World Cup games, but ended up staying in almost every night. We each took turns with colds and the weather has been soContinue reading “Week 81: Innsbruck”
Week 80: So Many Christmas Markets
Wow, we had such a busy week, mostly due to it being opening week for most Christmas markets. We managed to fit 19 into this week alone! We started on Tuesday at one of the big, local markets in Esslingen. There are two markets in the city, one regular and one medieval, and we metContinue reading “Week 80: So Many Christmas Markets”
Week 78: Dresden and Saxony
We are on a mission to get to 50 Marriott nights this year in order to maintain our status in 2023. A long weekend with no solid plans, meant we sought out the cheapest hotel room in Germany and ended up in Dresden in the East. We left Thursday afternoon after school and made theContinue reading “Week 78: Dresden and Saxony”
Week 76: Berlin!
Another week has passed us by! It was the last week in the first quarter of school for the kids so that meant we were super busy trying to make sure everything was completed and turned in on time. The jury is still out on how successful we were. It took over a year, butContinue reading “Week 76: Berlin!”
