When we disembarked in Bellagio, our tour guide told us to the leave the stroller behind because there were too many stairs. But, it was nap time and we had an ornery 3 year old, and we were hoping a ride in the stroller would help him fall asleep (ha!), so we ignored the tour …
I was in sixth grade when the Berlin Wall came down. I remember a small group project on “the fall of Communism,” and I remember that I was assigned to Germany. I don’t remember much about my own presentation except that we included a lot of images from the Newsweek magazine that I brought in …
As part of our normal lives, Hubby and I have attended Major League Soccer (MLS) games in Columbus, Chicago, and Dallas. In fact, our first year living in Cincinnati, we had season tickets to the Columbus Crew. The weren’t part of the official stadium tour, but I still want to share my experiences. My first-ever …
One of the beautiful things about living in Italy has been the opportunity to go to so many places, including places that were never on my list (e.g., Basel). Another of these places is Copenhagen. I could not tell you how Copenhagen became a place that we decided to visit. It was just one of …
My posts on my whirlwind trip around Italy are still to come, but it’s taking forever! I saw A LOT! We traveled to Rome, Venice, Florence, Siena, Pisa, and San Gimignano. I took close to 1000 pictures, and I’m not exaggerating. So even though chronologically the trip to Rome happened before Venice, and Basel happened …

Hubby had to work in the Netherlands last week, so I went with him. Because I could. I still had to work (more on that later), but I also had some free time so I took the time to see the one place in Holland that I wanted to go to but hadn’t seen – …
In my post on Den Haag, I mentioned that one of the highlights of my trip was to Madurodam, and that I took so my pictures and videos, it needed its own post. So here it is. Madurodam was one of those places that I wasn’t sure was worth my time, but I’m glad I …
Hubby had been raving about this restaurant near his work and he finally took me there on Friday night. First, let me explain Correggio. It’s the plastics capitol of Italy, so there is a lot of manufacturing in the area. But it’s also Italy, so it’s also a hub for food and wine. There are …
After three weeks in Italy, Hubby still had not been given an apartment, so when I arrived, my two suitcases and I moved into the studio hotel room with Hubby and his three suitcases (well, his two – one may have been mine). Thankfully, we only had to stay in the hotel for a week …
