Hi blog readers! We head to Berlin in about two weeks for the Christmas markets, but I thought it might be nice to do a little round-up of what has been going on here.

A Fangirl’s Harry Potter and Outlander Journey Through the UK
aka: The Best Darn Mom & Sis Trip: Part 2 London & Scotland! To fully understand the importance of this trip we need to take it back a decade (omg) to 2007 when the final Harry Potter book was released.

Shane and I aren’t really big gift-givers to one another, but that trip felt like a nice way to celebrate the occasion.Continue reading “Greetings from Budapest !”
Rome, Italy !
(Ever noticed that all of our post titles end with an exclamation mark? Seems we are easily excited!) So, as Whitney alluded to in the previous post, we also visited Rome during Sufrinko Fest 2015. I guess I should first apologize for posting this by, what is now, over a week since they left. SorryContinue reading “Rome, Italy !”
