Brett and I went to one of the many bike shops in the city so that Brett could tinker with his bike. Brett loves having a project. If it is not his bike then its a puzzle.But when we were at the bi...

We made it to Amsterdam! Biked from Brussels, checked into our hotel, and even had a quiet moment with Atlas enjoying an apple in the lobby. The next day we picked up very special guests—my parents—who are visiting for 8 days. So grateful for family, slow travel, and new memories in the Netherlands.

We biked from Brussels to Amsterdam — 212 km of cobbled streets, canals, and unforgettable views. 🚲🌷 Read about the laughs, the challenges, and the scenery that made the ride worth it. Full story and photos here: https://wix.to/P663LcJ

Hello Family and Friends,We biked from Brussels to Amsterdam, 212km (~131mi). Of course, this was something that Brett came up with out of nowhere. And of course, I laughed at him and said no when he first brought it up. He knew it was a crazy idea when he approached me, because he started with "lis...

Hello Family and Friends,The highlight of our last week in Brussels is that we attended the celebration of Belgian National Day!It was a little difficult to get a good spot to see the parade.

Atlas started summer camp this week in Brussels! 🇧🇪 From first-day bus station smiles to almost mastering potty training (one accident only — thanks to Paw Patrol bribery), this week was full of small wins and big smiles. Read more about our Week 3 in Brussels and follow along with our family adventures. https://wix.to/NlqeZVN

Hello Family and Friends,Atlas started summer camp this week!And as for potty training, he did pretty good thanks to a little bribing. I told him that if he goes pee-pee on the potty and doesn't have any accidents in his clothes, he can watch Paw Patrol (his very favorite show right now). He only ha...

Brussels Week 2: hotel-hopping because the heat and lack of AC made staying put impossible. From moving rooms to changing hotels, our first three days here have been a whirlwind. Read about the highs, lows, and lessons from our Brussels stop — and why Europe’s heat wave caught us off guard. Read more: https://wix.to/7PshZfb

Hello Family and Friends,So I have been trying to hold off on really expressing exactly how terrible the lack of air-conditioning is in Europe. I was trying to leave it for one of our summary post. However, our first three days in Brussels have been consumed with moving hotel rooms and then ultimate...

Hello Family and Friends,Yes, I am just confused as you are. In my last post I wrote about our next location being Brussels, Belgium and then we get off the train in Antwerp, Belgium. Something I was very much looking forward to was unpacking for a longer stay. Brett tells me that we will be going t...

Heat wave in Milan, but still making memories ☀️🇮🇹

Hello Family and Friends,The heat wave continues in Milan. It's a very interesting experience to be visiting Europe and not want to leave the hotel because you have already showered and you don't want to sweat again. Before even getting to Milan, Brett was done with suffering in the heat. Even so, t...

Hello Family and Friends,You guys, I really didn’t think we were going to get to enjoy anything in Rome. The heat wave that started in Zurich followed us to Rome.

Zurich vibes: sunshine, lake breezes, and alpine views. We spent our days cruising Lake Zurich, watching the Swiss Alps glisten with remaining snow, and soaking up slow summer moments before the heat of Rome. Perfect recovery time between cities — and perfect family time on the water. Read more from our Zurich adventure: https://wix.to/OdNu5qt

Hello Family and Friends,Our time in Zurich is more of a recovery from a busy Munich and preparation for a very busy and hot Rome. In Zurich, we started to feel the effects of the European summer. We spent the majority of our time on the water. On our first day we took a boat cruise around Lake Zuri...
