Ty and I have decided on a catch phrase to describe Stuttgart, “it’s fine”. Nothing was really wrong with our time here, but nothing was really great either. A good part of this may be we’re burnt out on traveling and are ready to be home. We had a ‘fine’ breakfast at the hotel. R… Continue reading Travel Day: Stuttgart to Frankfurt, Germany

Adventure Day: Stuttgart, Germany
Well the day started off good. Aside from R still being sick of course. Breakfast at the hotel was ok, got the job done. The day was beautiful, blue skies and hot!

Travel Day: Salzburg, Austria to Stuttgart, Germany
Today was going to be a long travel day. We were going to be on 4 different trains going from Salzburg to Stuttgart, but first we made time to play a bit first.

We all slept in except for Ty. He loves his early morning runs, so it works out well for all of us. The hotel breakfast was pretty good. We were all excited for a day of good weather. After breakfast we walked through the Mirabell Palace garden on our way to the Mozart Residence. Views… Continue reading Adventure Day: Salzburg, Austria
Adventure Day 4: Munich, Germany
The weather is beautiful again! Which is good timing since we have planned to go see the Dachau Concentration Camp. We had quite a few talks with our kids before this, and there are numerous areas where kids aren’t allowed, and it isn’t recommended for them to go through. But honestly Ty and I thought… Continue reading Adventure Day 4: Munich, Germany

We woke up to it pouring buckets of rain. So we weren’t in any hurry to go anywhere. Breakfast at the hotel was incredible. We’re all so excited to enjoy it for the next few days.

So today we did a bucket list thing. It was incredible! We paraglided!!!! I think ever since Neushwanstein castle where there were paragliders everywhere Ty started researching it. He contacted several companies outside of Innsbruck and only got 1 reply. Then we were waiting to see if the weather would improve. We could finally see… Continue reading Travel Day: Innsbruck to Salzburg, Austria
Adventure Day: Innsbruck, Austria
Well today was a roller coaster, not the fun kind but the emotional kind. But it ended on a high note so that’s what matters. Breakfast at the hotel was a bit of a crazy house. Our hotel is overrun with Viking cruise retiree’s and oddly numerous professional sports teams. So the breakfast area was… Continue reading Adventure Day: Innsbruck, Austria

We had grand plans to go hiking, ride trams, perhaps reach the tallest peak in Germany. However the weather had different plans for us. Beautiful countryside and my… Continue reading Travel Day: Munich Germany to Innsbruck, Austria
