12:00. That’s what time we woke up on our first full day in Germany. And I’m not talking about waking up 20 times and going back to sleep. No, no. I slept like a rock and only opened my eyes a couple of times as I rolled over. To tell you the truth I would … More Christmas Vacation Day 1: Monster Schnitzel and Football auf Deutsch
We are here! In Germany!! Finally!!! It feels like an eternity since we were here last, so I apologize if I sound like a total noob. I don’t totally understand it myself. I mean, I understand why I’m excited. But this is weird, different. One thing is for sure though, the longer we are gone … More Hello Germany!

Leg one of our trip to the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul is complete. It hasn’t been without Casualties though.

All loaded up in Boise and ready to get this show on the road! We’re running on 3 hours of sleep and we got to the airport a little late, but excitement is getting is through. Next stop, Minneapolis.
Tomorrow we fly to Germany to spend Christmas and New Years! Awesome, awesome, AWESOME!! I am so incredibly excited. In fact, here’s me leaving work today….. The only problem is that we’re going to get about 3 1/2 hours of sleep tonight. Ugh. But maybe we’ll just sleep the whole trip away. Anyway, off to … More Germany or Bust!
Ah, vacation. Recreation. Relaxation. Sightseeing. It doesn’t matter whether you are going to explore someplace new or returning to a favorite place, it is one of the most wonderful events of the year (right after my birthday, of course!). There is only one problem with vacation. Preparation. And the preparation is 100% stress! After years … More I Need a Vacation from my Vacation
Germans have at least 9 1/2 and as many as 14 1/2 (if you live in the city of Augsburg) legal Holidays. In America we have 10. Sounds about even right? Good. Oh, and that half of a day is Christmas Eve, where pretty much everything is closed by 2pm so everybody can be at home. Now, according … More Germans Rock the Holidays
