Cinque Terre – September 5th 2017 Our first real Italian village experience happened! We stayed in a remote (remote to me!) small village about 25 minutes from the train station that would take us to Cinque Terre. We had only one bedroom and a sleeper sofa.

Pisa – September 4th 2017 Next stop Pisa! Now, as much as I loved Venice, Italy was somewhat letting me down again. Between the drivers being crazy and Florence not being as lovable as I would have liked, I really wanted Pisa to blow me out the water with Italian fabulousness!! Parking and traffic were...

Florence – September 3rd 2017 We arrived in Florence straight from Venice. We had a very late check in of 6pm for our airbnb and so we decided to drive straight into the city, park and explore for a while. Driving in an old city with narrow roads was a whole new level of crazy!...

Rothenburgh ob der Tauber – August 29th 2017 We woke early and had to yank the kids out of bed almost. We couldn’t miss our breaky and had a date at a local bakery set for 9am. We sat for our breakfast and enjoyed a more traditional German continental meal. They served many meats and...

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...

Legoland – August 27th 2017 The day of all days arrived. The one day Lucas was looking forward to most. The one day that we were pumping him up with excitement to try and get him over his nerves being on the trip. We had an early start and were staying pretty close to the...
