If you are on Facebook, you have seen Must Do Travels post about Cascate Del Mulino in Saturnia. The hot spring bubbles out and forms a waterfall that cascades down into natural pools, which have created mini hot tubs on the hillside. With school out Friday, we loaded up and set out to find this … More Saturnia
Long weekends make my heart yearn for travel. While 4 years seems like a long time, we have so much to see and do! Deployments and TDY’s take away some of the time we have as well. So, any extra day off, we try to jump at the chance to go somewhere new. If you … More Lake Bled, Slovenia
There is something euphoric about the new year. New calendars, new beginnings, new goals, and new adventures. The planner girl in me loves to see a blank year and fill it with amazing things to do. The new goals part? Not so much. Of course, I have things I want to achieve but year after … More New Year, New You!

The last leg of our trip was off to Triberg. The black forest has always been an bucket list item of mine. We had three things to take care of here: Black forest, Black Forest Cake, and a Cuckoo Clock. We stayed in Schonach at an apartment called Andreas. This place was a little quirky … More Triberg, Germany
Our next stop on our journey was Interlaken. We booked pretty last minute so the only thing I could really find for us was a hotel just outside Lauterbrunnen. It was located above a restaurant but reviews said the area was fairly quiet so we decided to just go with it. The pictures showed a … More Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland
We chose Lugano as our first stop for our trip. It is about a 4 hour drive for us. This allowed us some time to visit and rest before following on to Interlaken. We stayed at Hotel Besso Lugano. The location was not in downtown Lugano but it offered a free bus pass for transportation. … More Lugano, Switzerland
I had all these brilliant plans to keep everyone up to date on our adventures of moving to another country. I was able to write a few blogs while we stayed in lodging on base. Then our house wasn’t ready and we were kicked off to live in a temp home for about 3 weeks. … More It’s been awhile…
