The Ts: Road Trip To Spain: Montserrat
http://peteandrosie.blogspot.com/2015/05/road-trip-to-spain-montserrat.html
Friday, May 1, 2015. Road Trip To Spain: Montserrat. First Spain post - Road Trip to Spain: Costa Brava. Midweek, we took a day trip to Montserrat to go hiking. You're better off googling it then having me explain, but it's an abbey on a mountain, an hour outside of Barcelona. Here's the wikipedia. Once you're at the abbey, you can walk or take a funicular further up the mountain. From the top of the funicular, you can hike further up and around several trails.

Tuesday, February 3, 2015. School Update: German and French. Snuck a photo in James' classroom. We're well overdue for a school update. I don't think I've done one since the first day of school this year! As a former teacher, I endlessly geek out over the nitty-gritty of curriculum and pedegogy, so bear with me or feel free to skip this one. James and Daphne's teachers - we took it as a good sign that they were the only two teachers to stick around and help with crafts at the school Christmas party.

The Ts: Metz Cathedral and the Birth of "Simplicity Sightseeing"
http://peteandrosie.blogspot.com/2012/11/metz-cathedral-and-birth-of-simplicity.html
Sunday, November 4, 2012. Metz Cathedral and the Birth of "Simplicity Sightseeing". Saint Stephen's Cathedral - Metz, France. The kids had this past week off school, and Pete took the week off from work (Europe = more vacation time! We spent the first part of the week just hanging out as we typically do - lots of pajamas, music, walks, playgrounds, leisurely meals, and unstructured play for the kids. Amazingly, the restaurant staff didn't make us leave. Then we quickly headed for the shelter of the cathe...

The Ts: January 2015
http://peteandrosie.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 23, 2015. Cologne (Köln), Germany. Call it Köln or Cologne. It's where we went last weekend. About 2.5 hours drive from home. Daphne's teacher has encouraged his students to ask their parents to take them to Deutschland when they go on holiday so they can practice their German. Well, we Ts are nothing but a bunch of people-pleasing teacher's pets, so off to Germany we went on our weekend off from church music! I learned about the heavy bombing of Cologne in WWII. On a lighter note, Daphne...

The Ts: October 2014
http://peteandrosie.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2014. I'm here on the last day of October to do a quick catch-up on the last month and a half since school started. In a nutshell: my mom has been here, gone, and here again, James celebrated his 7th birthday, and my aunt (my mom's youngest sister) and uncle from London visited. The fall sun shone on the palace for our visitors. After completing the first week of school. Lots of walking around enjoying the sun when it appeared. We had a nice walk around the hilly town instead. My mom ...

The Ts: May 2015

Monday, May 4, 2015. Road Trip to Spain: Barcelona. Road Trip to Spain: Costa Brava. Road Trip to Spain: Montserrat. On the last day of our trip to Spain, we finally made it to Barcelona. Rather than driving into the city, we opted to drive to a nearby town (about 30 minutes) and park for free, and then take the train (about an hour). Back in 2012, we know ourselves better. Our goal was to see the cathedral, grab some food, and head home, tourist-guilt-free. Anything else was just bonus. After the visiti...

Friday, March 27, 2015. 7 Years of Blogging! Well, happy blog-birthday to The Ts! First blog photo I ever posted. Yep, I started this blog March 27, 2008. I have to say, I'm glad I've stuck with it. I looked up my blog stats to see which posts have seen the most "traffic" since the beginning. The internet is a funny place, so the list is pretty random. Still, as you might expect, all of them are from since we moved to Luxembourg in mid-2012. So here they are, the top 7 posts in 7 years:. 3 Nancy, France.

The Ts: Europa Park
http://peteandrosie.blogspot.com/2015/06/europa-park.html
Monday, June 22, 2015. Last month we visited. In Rust, Germany, just across the border from the Alsace region of France. Europa Park is Germany's largest theme park, and the second most popular theme park resort in Europe, behind Disneyland Paris. Under 3 hours by car. We are not "Disney People" or "Theme-Park People," but we thought we'd go anyway and surprise our kids with a trip on a day off from school. Unfortunately, because. For all the rides? 8230; But will the rides be too big? And we went to the...

Friday, April 24, 2015. Road Trip to Spain: Costa Brava. This will be the first of 2-3 posts of photos from our vacation in Spain. My strategy is to mostly photo- dump without a lot of commentary, or else this could take awhile. When you're vacation goals are very basic, it's very easy to meet them! Thankfully, all was as advertised! We spent most of our time at the beach in town or hiking along the coast to other beaches making up the Costa Brava. Some of the neighboring countries had already finish...
