Rothenburgh ob der Tauber – August 28th 2017 Rothenburgh ob der Tauber had been on my list for months before we left. I have no idea where I first saw information about the town, but the pictures drew me in. Quaint little German town. Looking untouched for many hundreds of years. Coming from a relatively...

Worms – August 24th – 26th 2017 Our time in Amsterdam was short and as much as we loved staying on the boat, we were ready to leave and hit the road to WORMS! Worms Germany was not a place we picked for it’s lovely sightseeing, but rather a half way point to our next...

Amsterdam – August 23rd 2017 The night on the boat was super relaxing and perfect. We had set up a movie for the kids and they all got cozy! (They kind of had to with the lack of space 🙂 ) We woke up feeling ready to tackle another city. Amsterdam was going to be...
