Well, this blog entry is a bit late in coming but we have been busy. Germany at Christmas cannot be matched. We flew into Bonn to visit the markets with Bethany and were not disappointed. On Saturday we woke early even after a late night arriving from the airport; this is an Avi trait. The […]

The kids and I drove up to Madrid this morning… deep into the heart of Madrid and the famous Museo de Prado. Parking in a nearby underground lot was surprisingly cheap and there was no line at 2pm when we arrived! I had read many a travel guide that said to expect huge queues, but […]
Read MoreYippee!! Germany finally feels like spring. So, we have crammed in all those fun outdoor adventures that we wanted to do last week. The first highlight was a great outdoor living history museum where we walked between local ‘villages’ to see the different styles of home and farm in the Rhine area. It was great! […]

She did amazing following the bike rules, dinging when she wanted to go around someone (usually me), pulling over for others, and crossing the street. In fact, she was having so much fun we decided to collect flowers to press […]
Read MoreOur Merebe Korean stroller has served us well. The back wheel, however, got pretty busted so I took it apart and the ‘axle’ is bent! The guys on the airplane or all the cobblestone must’ve done a number on it. I can’t bend it back. I think I can replace it with a nut and […]
