Each year, hundreds of thousands gather in Downtown Denver sporting their best lederhosen and Alpine hats to attend Denver Oktoberfest! Rick and I go every year (in fact, it was one of our dates when we first started going out) to join in on the festivities, fun, and food, and of course to get our
With historic castles, breathtaking architecture, beautiful forests, and flavorful food complemented with a light Czech lager, I simply cannot wait until the day we get the chance to discover the Czech Republic for ourselves!

It’s got a great culture, friendly people, interesting architecture, delicious food (pancakes or brownies, anyone?), as well as plenty of outdoor activities like biking and cruising the canals to keep you busy.

Even though it’s still only August, it’s never too early to start planning for a beautiful fall hike when the leaves turn golden in the fall.

Feel like you’re in paradise as you explore this tiny principality near the French Riviera. At just 499 acres, this tax haven in paradise
The fresh air, the lush greenery, the sheep, the drinks, and the sound of a pub filled with the Irish brogue are all things I can’t wait to experience someday when we get to Ireland.
