About This Blog

It started in 2016 with a full summer of travel throughout Europe, with a commitment from each member of the family to write at least one blog post each week. What started then continues now as a living journal, with posts from each travel adventure we enjoy together as a family. We invite you to follow along, and don’t forget about our shorter-form posts on our Facebook page, or all the pics we post to Instagram.

Yesterday, we started the day in Prague, and ended it in Munich. Today, we were in Austria celebrating July 4th by paying homage to one of the best Films to ever come out of Hollywood.
