Matinee In Minneapolis

January 10, 2016

We almost went the whole trip home without incident, almost. That is until the little guy threw up shortly after we landed in Minneapolis. After some rest in a quiet corner of the airport he perked up though, so I don’t think he’s sick. That was the extent of the excitement here though. Other than … More Matinee In Minneapolis

Motor City Pit Stop

January 10, 2016

After two Bitburgers, four movies, and a few hours of intermittent sleep we finally arrived in Detroit, Michigan for our first stop of the day.

The vast majority of kids in America go to bed on Christmas Eve knowing that as soon as they get up in the morning they can open their presents. German children on … More Christmas Vacation Day 12: Heiligabend (Christmas Eve)
