I’ve written a lot about all of the places that we went in 2017 (see earlier post for comprehensive list), but I haven’t really done a post about our Amsterdam visitors, or the activities we like to do in Amsterdam. So here is that post. We were very fortunate to have so many friends and…
Christmas in Norway – Part 2
Originally I thought I could condense this into one blog post, but I wanted to really do the trip justice so here you go, part 2! Alta On December 26th, we headed to Alta, a 30 minute flight inland (east). Our tiny propellor plane had about 8 passengers on board and I thought I was…
Christmas at the North Pole – Norway
December 22, 2017 – December 30, 2017 To close out our last trip of 2017, we dreamed big. Since we wouldn’t be going home to Nashville for the holidays, we decided to spend Christmas with Santa in the North Pole – or rather Northern Norway. To kick off the trip, we spent four nights in…

Christmas in Colmar

Get a Ghent
December 2 2017 – December 3, 2017 Christmas markets have quickly become one of our favorite things to do on a December weekend. Nothing beats walking around in the chilly weather, wearing a Christmas sweater, eating all of the fried food, and drinking Gluhwein. Since we had an open weekend, we decided to head to…
Wien – It’s fantastiche
November 24 , 2017 – November 26, 2017 If you would have asked me 5 hours ago, I would have said our trip to Vienna was incredible. Now that I’m still at the airport going on hour 6 of the 8 hour delay, I have to pause and reassess my feelings. I think I’ll choose…
Scotland – Expats have all the fun
November 17, 2017 – November 19, 2017 It’s become an annual tradition that every year in November, the Amsterdam EY expats take a trip. Last year, Tyler and I were lucky to join the group to Hamburg, and this year, the destination was Edinburgh. Although I had just been to the city with my sister…
Oui Paris
October 13, 2015 – October 15, 2015 I went from having never visited Paris in almost 27 years to visiting in 3 times in 6 months. It never ceases to amaze me and there’s always something new to do. It’s quickly moving up the list of my favorite European cities. We booked this trip at…
