London, England

As you can probably derive from the title, we went to London! We had a 4 day weekend here in The Netherlands, so we decided to take advantage of it and hop one of Groningen’s daily flights over to London to visit my aunt & uncle and explore the city! …. and explore the cityContinue reading “London, England”

Prague, Czech Republic

At the risk of bragging (but, I am), one the best things about living in Europe is our ability to travel with relatively little effort or cost. Unlike in the US, where the price of most domestic flights make it nearly impossible for a weekend get-away (sure you can catch deals from time to time, butContinue reading “Prague, Czech Republic”

Oh America, how we missed you… Special Events Edition !

as promised… Special Event #1: We’re Engaged!!! to be married of course! Shane mentioned in the previous post that we spent some time back in Pittsburgh visiting friends.

Oh America, how we missed you…

And we’re back! That’s right, after 4 short weeks traveling the eastern half of the United States, we are back in Groningen. We technically made it back two weeks ago, but it’s taken some time to get caught up on sleep/work/day-to-day life.

Duiken in het Nederland

…and I’m back! Apparently I like to plan all my major activities close together.

The drive down was only 3 hours and 15 min,Continue reading “Duiken in het Nederland”

#LittleLove2015

Well that was a whirlwind trip! Absolutely worth it, but a whirlwind none the less! This past weekend I headed to State College, PA to see some friends get married! …and who was waiting for me in the Pittsburgh airport? SISSY!!! 🙂 So we hopped in our rental car (yes! I still remember how toContinue reading “#LittleLove2015”

eseb 2015/Laussane & Noorderzon

Remember the days of book reports in middle/high school? Remember how you always waited until the very last minute to start working on it (don’t kid yourself, everyone did)? The night before it was due, there was a frantic rush to find the cliff notes (had all the free sites saved) and the constant battleContinue reading “eseb 2015/Laussane & Noorderzon”
