The G20 wrapped up and it was time for Mike to head to Hamburg for work. The kids and I had a while to kill some time before he came back later that afternoon. Trying to stretch out our time, we stayed at the hotel until check out and then went to the work out…
Month: July 2017
July 9, Laboe, The Perfect Beach Day
There is not too much to do in Kiel, however, we did discover that Kiel was actually a fjord and at the mouth of the fjord was a beach! We could take a water taxi and be there in an hours time! This was THE PLAN for our one full day in Kiel. There was…
July 8-Kiel, Germany. Why Kiel?
Why Kiel? A few people were puzzled as to why we came to visit their town. In fairness, we told them that with the G20 meeting and the protesting, we felt better about Mike staying on the out skirts and taking a train in to Hamburg, Germany. I did at least and I know his…
July 6-Happiness=The Hannover Zoo
We have had three people recommend the Hannover Zoo for us to go to with the kiddos. We decided to take their advice and check it out. There is NOT enough time in the day for this zoo! It is by far the best zoo and biggest zoo we’ve ever been to! It was like…
July 5th-Hello Hannover!
We pulled into Hannover and found our home for the next three days. It was a Marriott by the big lake with the most ginormous fish! In any case, we unpacked after a little exploring and then met a friend at a local Bavarian restaurant. The best part of traveling is meeting up with friends…
July 4th-Happy 4th of July! Parks, Trampolines, and Sunshine!
While our friends across the pond were celebrating the 4th of July with cookouts, lazy beach days and fire works we were in the Netherlands trying to find a place that maybe, perhaps, would have something going on for the 4th. There wasn’t any and our search did not last long. We were actually happy…
July 1st, Netherlands Bound
We had our first interesting experience with train travel in Europe in the summer! It was packed between Ghent and Antwerp, the kids had to sit under the seats between the seats for safe shelter. But…it was safe and somewhat sound as we beat off teenagers, vagabond boy scouts and other tourists. Arriving safely in…
June 30th-The Bell Tower (Ghent, Belgium)
While Mike was away for the day the kids and I decided to create our own adventure starting off with climbing the bell tower. A great recommendation by the receptionist at the front desk might I add. We already crossed off the two closest parks, completed the famous boat tour, discovered the native candied “noses”,…
June 29th-Dinant, Belgium
Oh Dinant! You will always be one of our favorite treasures. We tried to convince the family at the grocery store to bypass Brugge for you but I am sure they did not. They missed out for sure. Dinant almost did not happen again for us, but we were determined. We opted to rent a…
