  • An Update on Katelyn

    I just have to put a little insert here about our little Bug-Bug. She was a great traveler…most the time. For the first couple weeks she slept a lot in the car and otherwise did great while awake. Since we didn’t always have a good plan or know exactly where we were and what was…

  • Italy–the bad side

    As we continued on in Italy we felt that our first day was deceiving. As we continued on, we realized that driving was scary, English speakers were few, and we were feeling the need for something besides the gelato standby. Day Two: After securing a hotel we ventured out to get some grub in the…

  • Italy

    Let’s be honest, many places we visited we did specifically to experience the food. We like food. Italy was no exception. Our first day there we went to a great authentic Italian restaurant. Devin ordered a pizza which once he saw it was wondering why he ordered so much.  But that was no problem. I…

  • Switzerland

    After a two-day pit stop in Dijon, France, we were on to Switzerland. Switzerland ended up being one of my favorite places that we visited. It was so beautiful and the countryside was refreshing.  We took a tram ride up a mountain. This was only one of dozens of them and the shortest (cheapest) one…

  • Paris–Museums

    We spent a little more time in Paris because there was so much to do. We found out there are more museums than anyone knows what to do with. And, that we are not museum buffs. But there are some interesting people who are museum buffs. Exhibit A We loved this lady. Devin tried for…

  • On to Belgium

    Then we were off to Belgium. We spent one night in Brussels, though unintentionally. It was one of those many days where we were tired, Katelyn needed a major break from the car, and there wasn’t an open restaurant in site. The first of many. But a good old American hotel chain can fix everything….

  • More of Germany

    Moving towards Belgium, we made a stop at the Burg Eltz castle. It was at this point that we started to notice that nearly everywhere we stopped, the site was under some sort of renovation. That made for some bummer pictures (hence the out of place crane) and some pictures non-existent. As we drove through…
