Since my parents were with us for … Continue reading strasbourg, the capital of christmas
2018 recap
This year certainly had its ups and downs. Having worked in college ministry, being back in grad school, and then being on a college ministry schedule again, I tend to view each year in terms of the school schedule (i.e., September-June) rather than the calendar year.

I miss looking at a whole big post of people's travels and adventures! Regardless, you were warned. Not … Continue reading christmas in paris: part i
colmar, france: a fairytale village
Busch Gardens: Europe in Williamsburg has a petite section of the park set up to look like a quaint town in France.
