Barcelona

We are in the final homestretch before our big move back to the States.  We've packed several "last" trips in before the move.  This weekend: Barcelona! This was one of our bucket list cities for Europe and I'm so glad we got to see it.

The trip was a little crazy overall, and it made me glad that it was just us versus going with a big group.  We tried to take a train to the airport on Friday and ended up having some issues with parking at the train station, so we ended up driving ourselves to the airport last minute with less than two hours until departure.  Then, as we got into the airport, I noticed that Emma was running a fever!  

So our first day we did a quick walk through the city and then spent most of the evening back in the hotel while Emma slept.  Since our hotel didn't have a bar or restaurant, we spend the evening sitting in the hall drinking wine and eating take out.  

Saturday we toured the city a little more and Sunday, my favorite, we spent the entire day at the beach.  I had been craving a beach day and it did not disappoint.  The weather was perfect and after some coaxing, Emma was happy to sit in between our chairs and play.  She still wasn't too sure about the sand, so we didn't have to pace after her or chase her down, which was a nice break since we'd been doing that the whole trip.  

In two weeks we head to Budapest, and then roughly two weeks after that we fly home!

Playing outside with the dog's food bowl might be her favorite thing to do. Weird, I know ;)

Girls trip to France!

I have been talking about driving the short distance from Germany to France since we first found out we were moving to Germany.  Somehow we've been here 2 years and I haven't done it yet!  So I planned a girls trip with some friends last week and had a quick, but amazing jaunt into the Alsatian Wine region of France.

I used this guide of the Alsace region as a guide for the trip.  We started our trip in the town of Eguisheim, where we visited Domaine Emile Beyer winery.  Next we headed to Colmar where we stayed the night.  Colmar was beautiful!  It reminded me of Bruges, Belgium.  The next morning we drive to Kientzheim where we visited what was probably our favorite stop of the trip: Paul Blanck Vineyards. 

France is country #9 for Miss Emma!

I posted most of these pictures on facbook already because I couldn't help myself, but here they are again.  We went strawberry picking for our friend Emily's birthday.  Emma LOVES strawberries, and I snapped some cute pictures.
