Bergen is topping the list as one of the favorite places we have had a chance to visit since moving abroad. This city is completely approachable and packed with charm. Perhaps this is why Disney chose it as a model for Frozen’s Arendelle. We were glad that the bulk of our Norway days were spent here …
We arrived Oslo via the Bergen Railway into Oslo’s Central Station, which is quite large. The iPhone’s GPS was quite confused in the station, so we went out the exit toward the city but the phone quickly knew where we were. We decided to make the mile walk down Karl Johans Gate to our hotel. …
Berlin is an amazing city to visit and should top your European list. I’m typically not a city person. Although European cities are packed full of museums and culture, I prefer exploring the countryside and small towns. Berlin though, is so packed with history and yet completely new as it rebuilds from its Soviet era …
Copenhagen is an approachable city that offers tons of tun and nearby day trips. It is not as family friendly as some of the other parts of Denmark, but is worth a visit. We found a perfectly quirky Airbnb to rent in the heart of Copenhagen. The location was to die for, the place perfectly …
Father’s Day weekend a friend suggested we do some Dutch camping. She knew of a company, Holland Tent, that sets up everything before you get there. With a last minute booking we asked Holland Tent where they had tents available. The company’s last two tents were at Wega Campground in Weert, a small town in …
I’ve been really struggling with how to organize and keep all the memories from our travels. My boys are young and I really want them to have something they can look back on to remember this magical time in our lives. Photo books are one of the most picked books off the shelf by both …
Egeskov Castle was the perfect stopping point between Copenhagen and Legoland on a travel day. It takes about two hours to reach Egeskov Castle from Copenhagen by car. The castle has a little something for everyone and we easily spent the day there. Egeskov Castle was completed in 1554 and like most castles was designed for …
Although we loved our visit to Copenhagen we tend to enjoy small towns a bit more. On our last day in Denmark the only goal was to get from Billund, where Legoland is located, to our hotel in Husum, Germany just over the border. We opted for a day of driving through the Denmark countryside …
May and June were packed full of travel and luckily we grabbed a few family shots during our travels. We had amazing weather for our Berlin trip. A passing stranger snapped this photo in front of Berlin’s Victory Statue for us. On our May trip to Bergen, Norway Jeff insisted we grab a family photo at …
I first heard about the Bergen Railroad, the train between Bergen to Oslo. on the Rick Steves Podcast. Rick was encouraging a guest to take the Norway in a Nutshell tour that combines part of the rail journey with a boat fjord tour and an incline railway. With some investigation Jeff and I concluded that …
