The Best education I have ever received was through travel.

Ever since I was small, I always had “Wanderlust” – the strong desire for or impulse to travel and explore the world. It is not something that can be taught, it’s like it is part of your genetic make up like a “T” (Travel) chromosome and is just inherent in some people.  I had always hoped that with all the traveling we took our kids on, that we could instill this impulse or desire to travel within our children.  I have always found that travelling has given us a great education and appreciation into places, people, food and cultures.  One of the things that would make us proud is to see that our children have also developed a sense of Wanderlust.

So, as you can see with this post, – our son Matthew and his girlfriend Krystal have the travel bug and took their second trip to Europe; this time to explore Germany.  Their travels took them to these sights plus many more….

  • Von Trapp Family Home and Gardens, Salzburg, Austria
  • View Overlooking Salzburg & Biking in Salzburg, Austria
  • Charles Bridge, Prague Czech Republic
  • Romantic Road – route in Mottingen, Harburg Germany
  • Neuschwanstein Castle southwestern Bavaria, Germany
  • Dancing House Prague, Czechia (Fred & Ginger) – Prague capital of Czech Republic

They also enjoyed local cuisine and drinks, including but not limited to;

  • A Weisswurst – Traditional Bavarian Sausage (White Sausage) (definitely not their favorite)
  • Beire at HB – Hofbräuhaus- München – World’s most famous tavern!
  •  Bier und ein Bretzel – (Pretzel and of course Beer!)
  • Schnitzel

Matthew has definitely caught our travel bug!
