Caroline and Kyle landed on a sunny and beautiful day in April. I promptly put them on bikes and we spent the afternoon riding around Amsterdam, and sitting outside at one of my favorite breweries in the city. Bryan joined us for drinks and dinner in our neighborhood that evening. We jetted to Prague on…
Birmingham, England (not Alabama!)
This post is long overdue. I will likely never catch up on this blog, but I love trying! You may notice while reading the content below, I stole a significant portion of my content for this post from my friend Natasha’s blog: http://www.thosedamscotts.com. Why? 1) She is better at blogging and faster than I am…
Dahl Family Trip to Londontown
Convincing my Dad to visit Amsterdam was a triumph! As you may know, Kent Dahl does not love traveling overseas, so I couldn’t have been more thrilled to host him in our city. My dad loves soccer, or football as it is referred to on this “side of the pond.” So, we decided to go to…
Profound Poland
I will not be able to adequately share how much our trip to Poland impacted me. I went into the weekend knowing it would be intense on many levels — of course, touring Auschwitz, but the entire experience of visiting Kraków blew me away. Kraków is not only the second largest city in Poland, but…
Magical Florence: Italy Part 2
I know you have been waiting on the edge of your seat for the part 2 of our time in Italy: beautiful Florence! Mary Mac studied abroad in this lovely city, and so it was special getting to spend time in Florence with her — as our guide. Bryan and I have spent some time…
Under the Tuscan Sun: Italy Part 1
Oh man, there are innumerable things to write about our quick trip to Italy with Mary Mac and Jack in October. Ever since studying abroad in Italy, I find any excuse to go back. It is a spectacular country with hundreds of miles of coastline, rolling hills and lakes, tall mountains that touch the sea, and…
Tapas, Por Favor: Sevilla, Spain
I am horribly behind on blogging and still posting trips from September! Oh well, I will get to 2018 some day. I am happy to finally share our lovely trip with Megan and David. Before I tell you about our sunshine filled trip to the beautiful southern Spanish city, I want to share two photos…
Oktoberfest!
Attending German parades, eating delicious bratwurst, riding carnival rides, partaking in random singing; and, of course drinking huge pints of beer is a recipe for a fun weekend. The story I am about to share is of our trip to Oktoberfest: the worlds largest folk festival and quite the cultural experience. My Amsterdam friends have…
Beautiful Portugal
I am writing this post as its snowing outside my window. Oh, how I miss the warm, beachy weather of the Portugal trip Bryan and I took in late August. From its expansive mountains in the north to the untouched beaches of the south, there are endless places to explore in Portugal. When Bryan and…
Norway with KTP
Kate, or “KTP” as we call her, the 4th Dahl girl, is my nearest and dearest friend. As a teacher, Kate has the summer months off; thus, August was, and is, the perfect time for her to visit. Kate and I have done some extensive traveling together in our lives, but were thrilled to have…
