Isn’t that the most beautiful van in the whole world? That is the van that brought the pups home today! Their flight landed at 6:45 this morning and we knew it would take up to 4 hours for them to clear customs. We were hoping that it wouldn’t take that long and set our alarm [...]

We are home safe and sound from Oktoberfest. We had such a fun time and are both in love with Munich.

The best part of the tour was the Cliffs of Moher. They were breathtaking. The visitor center was amazing because you could barely tell it was there by the entrance but it was huge inside.
