I know I've complained a bit about the cold. Okay, maybe more than a bit. But Heidelberg has totally changed it's tune with some of the most beautiful colors I've ever seen for Spring. When we moved here last year it was September and the flowers were still out, the weather was lovely, and the castle was gleaming. Being from Texas I was in awe of the pleasant temperatures outside.

48 Hours in Liverpool, England

We can walk the same path as conquering kings, powerful queens, and the people who put their … [Read more...] about 25 of The Best Castles in the World
Plan a Trip to Rothenburg Ob Der Tauber – Step Back to Medieval Times

You go and see men dressed up in their woolen garb and you eat with your hands and watch the players jousting upon horses. So, it's awesome.

Living Like a Local on the French Riviera
When I travel I tend to notice things more. Not just the big landmarks, or the people, or the cultural differences, but the scenery and the environment.

This, in large part, is due to my love of adventure and, more often than not, where we stay.You have two options when you travel, stay in a hotel, or stay … [Read more...] about Living Like a Local on the French Riviera
