The Coos!

I really wanted to see the Highland Cows (coos), so Nate figured it out! This is day 2 of hiking a mountain, but again it was so worth it. We’re currently on our ascent down from the pasture where they were today.

Review: Salisbury, UK 🪨🪨🪨 1/2

The specific reason to go to Salisbury is to see Stonehenge. It was a nice town with some good food and very friendly people. But we probably won’t find a reason to go back - it’s about a two hour train ride from either Bristol or London. Pros: Tuesday and Saturday farmer’s market, walkable, good food and pubs. Tinga was our favorite, and we wish there was one in Bristol. Cons: Out of the way, roads are narrow and busses drive really fast (watch out!), all shops close around 5:30 with restaurants open later, Stonehenge was about a 20 min drive, limited hotel options Lodging: Milford Hall Salisbury (an IHG)

Trains, planes and automobiles: Stuttgart🚆➡️ Munich✈️➡️ Bristol🚖

​This was the day we’d designated to celebrate Thanksgiving 🙏 with Brayden and Carlie. So Nate, Beau and I left our hotel in Stuttgart at 6:45 am 🚆 to head to Munich and catch a flight ✈️ to Bristol via Amsterdam. Security in Munich was smooth sailing so we had a ton of time to wait, but there aren’t really restaurants or anything, which is weird. What I was really worried about was our 55 mins between planes in Amsterdam. We arrived about 5 min late and it took forever to get off the plane. For whatever reason, in Amsterdam even to change planes in a different part of the airport you have to go through passport control, and the line is LONG. We’ve now done it three times… Anyway, great news was KLM airlines knew we had a short connection so automatically sent a “fast pass”  of sorts. Bad news was it was .8 miles from gate to gate plus passport control. And we had about 35 mins. 🏃‍♂️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽Somehow we made it! Whew! So back to the real reason for the travel…When we arrived at...

At long last

I can't believe it's been nearly a month since I've posted anything. I know below it says Oct. 31, but that's when I wrote that - it actually posted on Nov. 19. Hey, I have to defend myself and my horrible lack of posting a little! Let's see - there's so much that's gone on. I'll start recent and see what else I can remember over the past month. It's the most wonderful time of the year Cousin Ele spent the night Saturday night, and we woke up to breakfast in bed from the kiddos. It was very, very sweet. Picture this - Nate getting pelted in the head by a Juicy Juice box along with Beau jumping on top of him saying, "Daddy! Guess what?!" I, on the other hand, had two, sweet angels (Brayden and Ele) on my side of the bed handing me apple cide in a cup with a lid complete with Spiderman atop and a yellow straw. We both were presented "peanut butter toast." Here's the ever-so-sweet, yet very funny part of our "peanut butter t...
