  • May 2016: Krakow, Poland

    We’d never been to Krakow before, but we heard it was 1) pretty, 2) cheap, and 3) easy to get to from Prague. Sold. The problem is, we had just spent a month in Prague, the most beautiful city I think I’ve ever seen. Krakow had a nice castle… but it wasn’t quite as beautiful as Prague’s. It went like … Keep reading
  • April 2016: Prague, Czech Republic

    Beautiful architecture, long walks, and trdlo Once the housesit was over, we made our way over to Prague to stay for a month.

Athens has some of the most mind-blowing sights … Keep reading

  • March 2016: Pamukkale, Turkey

    Before leaving Turkey after Annabelle’s birth, we decided that we really should take a small side-trip to see a little more of the country than just Istanbul. As amazing as that city is, there were plenty of places to visit, and though our side-trip opportunities for exploring Turkey were limited with a newborn, we couldn’t head off without seeing at … Keep reading
