It’s been a while, and Meatball is disappointed in us for not updating the blog lately. I mean look at her. Judging us. Not cool cat. Since the wedding, we’ve taken a little travel hiatus, so I thought I would do a round-up of the things that have been going on here in Groningen. First.Continue reading “Groningen Round-Up”

Groningen, Paris, & Amsterdam Too !
Guess who came to visit? If you guessed Shane’s family, then you guessed Wright! My almost in-laws and nephew (6 more weeks! – not that anyone is counting) made the trek from southwest Virginia to spend 10 days in Europe with Shane, Meatball and me. Two planes and a train ride later put them hereContinue reading “Groningen, Paris, & Amsterdam Too !”

Our Fall, In Review
Hey there friendly readers! I know, we’ve kept you waiting in anticipation for far too long. I apologize. (hah) Oh, and no. That picture of the beautiful tree isn’t here. I stole it from Sis because sadly enough I didn’t get any fall foliage pictures this year. Actually, this brings me to the first itemContinue reading “Our Fall, In Review”
Duiken in het Nederland
…and I’m back! Apparently I like to plan all my major activities close together. This weekend Shane and I drove to the village Scharendijke in Zeeland, which is a province in the south of the Netherlands. Here, we completed our PADI Advanced Open Water certification! The drive down was only 3 hours and 15 min,Continue reading “Duiken in het Nederland”
