After we returned from Garmisch with my parents Sunday night, we took things easy on Monday. We did manage to go out to dinner at the Seegärtle in Böblingen after everyone was home from work and school. Tuesday was my parents’ final day in Germany. They stayed busy washing clothes, packing, and preparing for theirContinue reading “Week 181: A Full Week at Home!”

Week 180: Autumn Weekend in Garmisch
It’s been another great week of enjoying my parents’ visit! While we worked and went to school each day, they got in their daily walks to town and enjoyed trying out lots of restaurants and happy hour spots. We stayed busy every evening too! Monday night was Ryan’s night. My parents really love taking himContinue reading “Week 180: Autumn Weekend in Garmisch”
Week 179: My Parents Are Here!
After we arrived home last Monday night, my parents came for another visit on Tuesday! Unfortunately, they started their travels with a delay that caused them to miss their connection in Frankfurt. But they made it to Stuttgart by early afternoon, had a nap, and we could all enjoy a dinner out in our neighborhoodContinue reading “Week 179: My Parents Are Here!”
Week 178: Columbus Day Weekend in Puglia
We only had a short week at home after I returned from the U.S. before the Columbus Day weekend arrived. It’s a four-day weekend for us, so as soon as everyone was home from work and school on Thursday, we dropped off the dogs at the kennel and headed to the airport. Our destination wasContinue reading “Week 178: Columbus Day Weekend in Puglia”
Week 177: Quick Trip Back to Maryland!
We are cruising through the year; I can’t believe it will be the holiday season soon! September 30th is the last day of our fiscal year at work, so we were grinding right up until the last minute on Monday night after a month of non-stop work! Happily, that meant we could ease off andContinue reading “Week 177: Quick Trip Back to Maryland!”
Week 172: Labor Day Weekend in Sardinia
Another week has flown by! The only big news from this week is that Brooklyn started her job at Pizza Hut and worked two shifts! We are so proud of her! We have been bunny-sitting for our friends for the past couple of weeks. Milo is the sweetest thing. We had been expecting a tinyContinue reading “Week 172: Labor Day Weekend in Sardinia”
Week 170: Last Week of Summer Break
It’s the last week of summer break, and the heat is not letting up! The mornings are manageable, but we have to hunker down in our air-conditioned rooms for the rest of the day. We are looking forward to things cooling off a little bit this weekend. On Monday night, we saw the Perseid MeteorContinue reading “Week 170: Last Week of Summer Break”
Week 169: Bern, Switzerland
It was a short week for us after I got home from Nice on Tuesday! It’s still summer vacation for everyone, and it’s still hot, so not much new to report! By Saturday, we were bored with being in the house, and the forecast called for sun and heat, so we decided to cross anotherContinue reading “Week 169: Bern, Switzerland”
Week 168: Nice, France (Again!)
It was a hot week in Germany! Our air conditioners are up and running again; temperatures have been above 90F all week. The A/C can’t even keep up at work, so we have been working more from home. Every afternoon, it looks like a big storm is coming through that will break this heatwave, butContinue reading “Week 168: Nice, France (Again!)”
Week 167: The Olympics and Disney Paris
We had another super busy week! After returning from Cuxhaven, we only had two days at home before we left on our next adventure. Matt and I caught up on work and things around the house, Brooklyn wrapped up her summer class, and Ryan kept working hard on completing his Lego Star Wars AT-AT. IContinue reading “Week 167: The Olympics and Disney Paris”
