A week ago we headed out to a Kürbis(pumpkin) festival. We were stoked to hear about it. You know it was basically an Americans dream! I really feel solemn missing out on all things fall over here in Europe. Ok, besides the beautiful changing leaves and weather. Since ya know Texas doesn't know nothin' about all that. I tasted every single thing they had to offer that was pumpkin flavored. Pumpkin soup, Pumpkin champagne, Pumpkin beer, Pumpkpin cheesecake, Pumpkin bread, Pumpkin cupcake, Pumpkin sausage and Pumpkin ice-cream, that sadly disappointed. Brynnie got to explore the pumpkin patch while we thought we lost her. Oops, bad parenting communication on that one. No worries she was just over sitting on a pumpkin. She picked the cutest small pumpkin. We purchased some paint and she went to town with that. It was an absolute wonderful day celebrating fall in Luxembourg's way!

Happy Fall Y'all!

A Day Trip: Cochem, Germany

On Saturday this party of three set off for an hour in a half trip to small city Cochem, Germany. Now, it really is a lost gem. Such a quaint, gorgeous city. It sits on the Mosel River with the beautiful Reichsburg Castle sitting up on a hill. There was a wine festival going on which made the city a little overcrowded. That didn't stop us from being able to see everything and just enjoy the day. We didn't have much of an agenda that day. We had lunch, dessert and wandered all over. There were quite a few small parks. So, we stopped there with Brynn. Until she started to eat the rocks and sand that is. We walked up to the castle which took 20 minutes with an extremely steep road. Lots of panting and sweating went on. Later seeing that there was a city bus that took you right up to the entrance of the castle. Once we got up there it was completely worth the view. The castle was also surrounded by vineyards. We got to witness a bride and her parents driving up in a vintage car for them to give her away at her wedding. All in all our day trip was just what we needed before the crazy, long season starts on Saturday. 

Bock Casemates

My friend Jocelyn, Brynn and I decided to be touristy this past Saturday. With a smokin' 91 degrees here in Lux we were struggling out in the heat. We headed out to the Bock Casemates. With gorgeous views, lots of stairs and history it was a neat thing to see in the country we reside in.  The casemates were underground passages beneath the castle. They later became bomb shelters before being opened to the public as a tourist attraction.
