In the summer of 2008, our little family got transplanted from the great state of Texas to the wee country of Switzerland. This blog documented our adventures during our 18 months in Europe. We've also added travelogues from our previous travels to other countries, including Ireland, England, Germany, Taiwan, and Scotland. Currently, I write about travel excursions and life in Texas.

The Woodlands Oktoberfest

Well, we’re in the midst of getting ready for a new baby, so there’s not been much time or energy for me to update this blog, even though I’ve got plenty of outings in Texas and Switzerland to share up my sleeve. Today, though, I’ve got to share just how utterly pathetic The Woodlands Oktoberfest [.

Heritage Village in Woodville, TX

As usual, I am behind on posting our travel adventures here in Texas and around the US. A few months ago, my parents discovered a little place called the Heritage Village in somewhat nearby Woodville, Texas. The museum site is a restored pioneer-era village in east Texas containing period buildings

Stein am Rhein

We have since moved back to Texas from Switzerland. I first drafted this post before we left. One of our favorite places to visit in Switzerland is the tiny medieval town of Stein am Rhein. We can take a train (the S29) from the tiny depot near our flat in Oberwinterthur to Stein am Rhein [...]

Tomball German Festival

On March 28, we decided to go to the Tomball German Heritage Festival. It was a nice day out, but didn’t live up to our expectations in the least. I didn’t even take any pictures of the festival itself, aside from a few of our son climbing on a permanent exhibit in the park of [...]

Trash Stickers

I feel really guilty. We didn’t recycle hardly ever before we moved to Switzerland because they don’t do it in our neighborhood. We still don’t have it here, but the problem is, people are tightwads in our neighborhood, and even though our annual homeowners fee is only $125, people pitch a fit if we

A Little Life Update

Since there are a scattering few people who use this blog as primary means of keeping up with us, I thought I’d share some pictures of our son around Easter time. We were able to take him to two Easter Egg Hunts, one done by a mom and baby group that I’m in, and one [...]

Houston Downtown Aquarium

A few weeks ago, we visited the Houston Downtown Aquarium. My husband and I had been there quite a few years ago when we were dating, and it wasn’t all that much to behold. We were hoping for expanded exhibits and when I got a discount through a local photography club that I am in, [...]

Euros in Switzerland

We have since moved back to Texas from Switzerland. I first drafted this post before we left. Just a quick note in the midst of our preparations to leave… Switzerland is not part of the European Union, however they abide by certain of their laws and even accept the Euro for currency. Well, they are

Home!

Well, just a brief note. We are back home in Texas, our cell phones and home internet finally turned on, and all of our things have arrived as well (though we’re only half-way through the unpacking process – when did we acquire so much stuff?). Many of you have asked what I’ll be doing with [...]
