So as I casually mentioned at the end of my last blog post, my next day trip was set for Heidelberg. And so I put a plan together and again, Kat, her daughter Brianna, and I, all piled into my little Prius and got on the road. We ended up getting a little bit of…
Germany is so central to so many amazing places in and outside of the country. While I have loads of great day trip posts, I thought I might make it easy to follow along and compile them all in one place. I will put the closer (less than 2 hours) trips first, and then the…
I love visiting small towns and “local” attractions when I travel. So day trips are great! This last weekend I talked Kat and her daughter Brianna into doing some local-ish exploring with me. And so on Saturday morning, I found myself driving to the little (and might I say adorable) village of Kastl to pick…
Food Truck Market? Yes, please! I have said it many times before – Germany will have a fest or market for anything and everything. There is the huge, well-known, Oktoberfest, volks fests, kierva, Christmas markets, Easter markets, and the list goes on. There is always some fun local event happening and you can bet on…
Old places have always fascinated me. In the States, we have a very short history in comparison, so the amazing and rich history here in Europe amazes me.

So my wonderful friends from Sidles Adventures invited me to go on a trip with them and I think before they even told me where I had already said yes. But finding out the trip was for Kotor and Dubrovnik made it an even bigger YES! I keep telling (warning) my friends that unless I am…
If you haven’t been, it is a must. I actually get to Nuremberg pretty regularly and not just for travel. This is where I go to get my haircut, go shopping, etc. It is just a great city to get out and walk around town. It has a small town charm in a big city…
It was a cold and rainy Sunday in October…. and you better believe I was excited to be out in the elements. It was goat festival (or Almabtrieb) day! See, even the goats were excited. Anyway, I suckered my friends Amy and Teanna into accompanying me to the festivities. I probably should have made it…
So as you know we just recently (as in less than a week ago) went to Prague in the Czech, to visit my family. Well in posting pictures on social media we learned that another friend of ours was going to be in Prague the following week. So fast forward to now. **I didn’t feel…
