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

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. Also R woke up sounding pretty stuffed up and congested. Thankfully it was mostly morning junk and after a bit of time… Continue reading Travel Day: Salzburg, Austria to Stuttgart, Germany
Travel Day: Innsbruck to Salzburg, Austria
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
Travel Day: Munich Germany to Innsbruck, Austria
We finally all had a great nights sleep. We enjoyed our final breakfast in this amazing hotel and we packed up for the 9:30 train to Garmish. 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
Travel Day: Nuremberg to Munich, Germany
We started the day off with an electric scooter ride. We had ridden these before in Washington DC and Seattle with the kids. They’re a really fun way to navigate a big city. But the issue for us is they require you to sign in and off with your phone. We don’t have cell service… Continue reading Travel Day: Nuremberg to Munich, Germany
Travel Days: Anchorage, AK to Nuremberg, Germany
Alternative title: A Tale of 48 hours 🤪 We’re headed back to Germany! We’ve been trying to keep up having the kids learning German with tutors since we started homeschooling them the last 2 years. It’s hit or miss whether they like learning German. Our idea was to take them to Germany and have them… Continue reading Travel Days: Anchorage, AK to Nuremberg, Germany
Travel Day: Cairo, Egypt, to Athens, Greece, to Doha, Qatar, to Seattle, Washington, to Anchorage, AK
Let a 48 hour travel journey begin, at 1am of course. We had a driver pick us up for our 3:30am flight. Thankfully the hotel was willing to pack up some fruit, yogurt, and pastries for our breakfast. The drive was wonderfully short compared to our hour long traffic filled arrival. It’s amazing how peaceful… Continue reading Travel Day: Cairo, Egypt, to Athens, Greece, to Doha, Qatar, to Seattle, Washington, to Anchorage, AK
Travel Day: Luxor to Cairo, Egypt
This is our balloon just before they tipped the basket upright. The baskets are so large, ours held about 20 people. It wasn’t even the largest! Two hours after leaving the hotel we’re up in the air! Another bucket list item is checked off on this trip! Watching the other balloons take off and float… Continue reading Travel Day: Luxor to Cairo, Egypt
Travel Day: Dead Sea, Jordan to Luxor, Egypt
We were able to sleep and wake up without an alarm which was lovely. L woke up with a bit of a stuffy nose. But it seems to be nothing more than that for now. R is still fighting through the cold junk in the mornings. We had breakfast which was fine, again staff wasn’t… Continue reading Travel Day: Dead Sea, Jordan to Luxor, Egypt
Travel Day: Petra to Dead Sea, Jordan
Today was just a driving day. We were driving from Petra to the Dead Sea. This is 123 miles and estimates about 3.5 hours. We had a good breakfast in the hotel and packed ourselves up. The kids listened to audiobooks and played some games. Jordan seems very mountainous, anywhere we drove was always up… Continue reading Travel Day: Petra to Dead Sea, Jordan
