New Travel Spot: Germany

I am beyond excited! Yesterday, I finally booked a flight for 9 days in Germany. Shawn is heading there for work and we were lucky enough to link it right to my spring break and honestly, it couldn't not have come at a better time. I've been getting a little restless lately and it is time for me to get on a plane!

I'm currently in the beginning stages of planning but I know we are flying in an out of Frankfurt and spending a couple of days in Stuttgart.

Anyone have suggestions of what to do? I'm also down for just getting there and exploring.

Some places I hope to hit:

Hike in the Black Forest

Get my girly geek on as Neuschwanstein Castle

Ride the Romantic Road and see tons of cute little Bavarian Towns (My family originates from the Bavaria region so I'm ready to geek out!)

Maybe even hit up a roman bath in Baden Baden. The possibilities are seriously endless but then again, so is my excitement.

And of course....... BEERS!

Anyone have any other recommendations?

Goodbye, Yonkers

Last week, we moved out of Yonkers, New York to head a bit north. We've had a great year and although we never really felt like Yonkers was our home, we had a great year, making new friends and exploring NYC.

Here are a couple of photos from over the last year. 

Things to be thankful for during the year we lived in Yonkers: 

We adopted Emmylou (YAY!)

I started a "real" job and quit it because I realized it wasn't for me

I started graduate school

we explored Greece with great friends

we made our home at Bezack park where Emmylou learned to swim

we made two trips back to see our wonderful friends in Nashville 

we managed to make it back to Michigan to see our families for most holidays

we had wonderful friends who came to visit us in our new state

we made many new friends

being unemployed for a couple of months and although I was poor, I was able to spend days wandering NYC (I love to wander) 

 I joined a singing group again

I re-vamped the blog and although it is still a work in progress, it looks better than ever

 

Emmylou really hates balloons--imagine growling
