Old Town Heidelberg

Jen — Mon, 15 Jun 2015 19:34:18 +0000

Today’s plan was simply to spend the day in Heidelberg’s lovely Old Town. We strolled, we looked at statues and cuckoo clocks, we visited toy shops and bookstores, and we stocked up on delicious treats from my very favourite store in the city – Lebe Gesund {seriously lovely and they ship worldwide!} Grae also got… Read More

Hello, Heidelberg!

Jen — Sun, 14 Jun 2015 06:04:14 +0000

After dropping off our bags at our lovely little flat, filling our fridge with groceries, having some lunch, and a taking a family nap, we headed out to explore our home for the next week… Heidelberg. There’s no doubt that we absolutely love it here. We were here for Christmas 2013, we came back last Christmas,… Read More

A Cold Sunday in Heidelberg

Jen — Sun, 28 Dec 2014 19:23:28 +0000

On Sundays in Heidelberg, most everything is closed. And while that can be slightly annoying when you’re in need of milk or in the mood to browse, I sort of love it at the same time. Growing up, I lived in a teeny tiny town in northern Alberta where everything was closed on Sundays… It… Read More

Christmas Eve {2014}

Jen — Wed, 24 Dec 2014 13:51:02 +0000

Our Christmas Eve was a lovely one this year… Our flat was filled with friends {who are also visiting Heidelberg} for brunch, Grae and I did some midday ice play, the sun came out just in time for a long walk and visit to one of our favourite playgrounds, and we came across huge piles… Read More

Back in Heidelberg

Jen — Sat, 20 Dec 2014 20:49:56 +0000

Ahhhhh… Heidelberg. We love it here. After a fairly terrible night of sleep {the party upstairs turned out to be quite the rager and Miss G was up at 4 a.m. after an exceptionally late bedtime last night}, we bundled up and walked to the grocery store to load up on essentials. After everything had… Read More

Heidelberg Bound {2014}

Jen — Fri, 19 Dec 2014 21:52:30 +0000

Woohoo! Christmas vacation is officially here and I couldn’t be more excited. After much debate, we decided to spend this year’s holidays in Heidelberg, Germany once again {and I’m so glad we did}. While it’s always nice to see new places, Heidelberg is pretty much perfect for us when it comes to Christmas vacation spots.… Read More

Today’s Adventure: Skating

Jen — Mon, 30 Dec 2013 20:34:34 +0000

Ugh…. As the end of our vacation nears, I’m trying not to think about the fact that we’ll soon have to say goodbye to this gorgeous city. We’ve without a doubt been living in a vacation bubble, and I’ve been loving it. Today, after coffees and pastries, we crossed another big to-do off of our… Read More

Vacationing

Jen — Sun, 29 Dec 2013 20:40:41 +0000

Vacation means low-key days, right? Because today I think we did a fantastic job of actually vacationing. Besides a late breakfast and an early dinner out, we basically played Lego, walked around the neighbourhood, and visited parks. Here are a few snippets of our day… Morning park visit with Grandma. So thankful to have an… Read More

Heidelberg Castle

Jen — Sat, 28 Dec 2013 20:12:57 +0000

Despite the rain, we bundled up, walked the 40 minutes to Hauptstaße, and then hiked up the steep cobblestone hill {Brad pushing G in her stroller, bless his heart} to Schloss Heidelberg (aka Heidelberg Castle) today. Miss G wasn’t at her best and it undoubtedly would have been more fun on a day that it wasn’t pouring… Read More

Around Heidelberg

Jen — Fri, 27 Dec 2013 21:55:09 +0000

Because pretty much everything is shut down from Christmas Eve through Boxing Day here in Heidelberg, today was our first real day out and exploring with Grandma Charlotte. We took her down to the main pedestrian / shopping area in the city, went out for a delicious lunch, explored side streets, shops, and playgrounds, and… Read More
