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.

Christmas Vacation Day 6: Shopping and the Little Lord

So, so. Our sixth full day in Germany must mean I’ll be starting the day the same as all of the others with Maasdamer and Schwarzwälderschinken, right? Wrong!
