Those random days off throughout the year
We were walking James on a cold Saturday morning here in the Netherlands and we decided to walk through the town square of Gouda since it is right by our Airbnb and we wanted to see what people were selling at the market (Thursdays are the big cheese market days). We noticed flags in all…
Happy Thanksgiving! We hope you are having a wonderful 2018!

One thing we werenβt prepared for in Europe was holidays. Holidays where everything is closed. Today is Halloween. In Georgetown, we were prepared with LOTS of candy. But here in Europe we didnβt think Halloween was really celebrated like it is in the US. Last year, we were in Austria. I remember walking along Mariahilfer…
We are in Treviso, Italy and this Saturday is Epiphany. All over town we see vendors selling stockings and socks (like we have for Christmas Eve in the United States) and we see lot of candy and what
One US store I really miss is Target and their holiday items! They always have cute holiday clothing, kitchen items, party supplies, candy and more.
Target has these cute Valentine’s Day napkins and
I realized that we posted all of our Christmas in Vienna videos but I forgot to show our Thanksgiving in Verona! This video is all about FOOD haha!
I forgot to post last month about our 15th wedding anniversary on December 14th. We went ice skating in Vienna for our anniversary. But another fun thing was a Just Married book I got for Chris. I was

Back in 2001 we spent Christmas Day at Islands of Adventure at Universal Orlando. We lived right by Universal at the time and we had annual passes to Universal Studios. This was pre-Harry Potter and
Years ago I remember seeing this photo:

15 years ago, on December 14, 2002, we were married!
I never thought we would move away from Orlando. And then we moved to Washington, DC. I didn’t think Washington, DC was our permanent home
Now that Christmas is approaching, Advent Calendars are popping up all over Vienna. In the US, we rarely saw Advent Calendars. I think I saw one at Trader Joe’s once. And of course you see Clark Griswold
It is so rare for the three of us to all be in one photo together! I forgot that I had my friend Jen take this photo for us on the 4th of July here in Washington, DC.

We honored Duke and Goblin on Saturday by taking James down to Sprinkles. Sprinkles has dog
