Grand Canyon

At the beginning of November, I went on a little trip to the Grand Canyon and it was such a great weekend. We rented this really cute AirBnB in Flagstaff.

I literally loved everything about it, and would've bought it in a heartbeat if it was available haha.

The first night we found a small town tavern close to the rental where we had dinner.


The next day, we took the Grand Canyon Railroad bright and early for our trip to the Grand Canyon. They had food and drinks on the train, and several musicians that would come from cabin to cabin. 

The train ride was about 2.5 hours and the weather was nice and sunny at the Canyon.

I called my mom when we got there to show her the Grand Canyon, and then we walked around for the next three hours, had lunch, visited shops and art galleries.




On the way back, the train offered more complimentary food, and "robbers" entered the train, it was cute watching the kids on board and their eyes growing wide when the train all of the sudden stopped, because there were cowboys on horses with guns riding along the train, and then entering. 

We walked around the small town of Williams for a little bit and then headed back to the rental for dinner.

The next morning was already check out, but I enjoyed a few quiet moments in my happy place with a good book.

We stopped in Sedona on the way home where we had lunch and walked around the shops, and it was a perfect ending to a perfect weekend!

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha.  Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

Germany

I took a quick trip to Germany over spring break while the boys were on vacation with Katie. My dad had some medical issues over the past year, and it had been almost two years since I went, but a trip that was supposed to be five days in Germany, ended up being only four days because of flight delays. When in Germany for the first time, you HAVE to try Mettbroetchen. Needless to say, she was not a fan haha. A trip down memory lane is always on the agenda for the first day, walking around my village, visiting the homes where I grew up in (which are luckily still owned by my family), visiting my grandparent's graves, and eating all my favorite foods.  My only living grandparent, and one of the main reasons I wanted to go visit. It was so special to spend time with her. We had doener almost every day! Family dinner at my favorite restaurant one night, I absolutely loved how many people were able to join us even though it was very short notice. We also had breakfast at my grandma'...
