Who wants chocolate for lunch? Us!! We went to a fabulous restaurant, The Schokoladen-Restaurant of Fassbender & Rausch Chocolatiers, where every meal contains chocolate in one way or another. Who would have thought that cocoa sprinkled over chicken, or soup with chocolate drizzle would be delicious!? The girls had banana and chocolate crepes. We all… Read More Chocolate
This morning the girls and I attended a German church with a new friend, an American woman we met here in Berlin, and her parents. The church meets in a movie theater, the Kino Babylon. DZ was unable to attend as he had to be at the conference to do his presentation. The girls were… Read More Church
Today while walking around Berlin I saw the funniest thing. This isn’t the exact Bier Bike we saw since I didn’t think to take a photo, but you get the idea. The boys on the Bier Bike were laughing and having what looked like a party. All of them were sitting on their bike seat,… Read More Beer on the go
Just before our vacation the girls took swimming lessons. Our hope was that they would remember the things they learned last summer, then we would be able to get lots of practice in while we were in Florida. Our plan worked perfectly. Hopefully they will have had enough swimming time that they will retain most… Read More The Fish

We spent two days exploring Epcot. There is so much to see there. We drove up and LittleZabba said, Oh look! The great ball of Epcot! On our first day we got there just before the park opened so we were able to be there for the “rope drop”, when let everyone into the park… Read More Epcot
We loved Magic Kingdom so much we decided to go back for more! The girls were so excited to start the day. Our first ride was in Toon Town, The Barnstormer. It was a quick little roller coaster that the girls thought was so fun. After a brief run through some sprinklers to try and… Read More WDW Day #2
We arrived in Florida with no delays and a pretty easy flight. After getting settled in our room and having a nice dinner we walked out to the pool to check it out. As we were enjoying the view I remembered #21 on my life list, “jump in a pool with my clothes on”. I… Read More WDW Day #1
