Berlin

We arrived in Berlin and immediately loved the atmosphere. Each city just kept getting better and better.

Our first night we tried a doner kebab.
The second day we went to the top of the tv tower and then wandered around a bunch. We saw the Berlin Wall memorial, the murdered Jews memorial and checkpoint Charlie. Berlin is fascinating. David loves history and World War Two especially, he loved it here. It was also interesting to learn so much about the war his grandpa fought in. 












 My favorite thing in we did in Berlin was go to the 1936 Olympic arena. It was seriously so cool. I love the olympics every year so this experience only added to the fascination. 





 On our third day in Berlin, We visited a concentration camp. It is hard to describe the feeling of being there and the memory of thousands upon thousands of people murdered. It was unique and very somber. We are grateful to have been able to go and experience something to remind us to live life a little more fully. 








 After that event, we went to the east side gallery and explored the city.











The next day we went back to the memorial of the Jews and went through the museum. I love history but after many days of learning more and more about the people of those horrific events, my soul needed something a little happier.

European Adventure part 1

6 airplanes, 3 trains, countless public transportation rides, and another epic Price vacation under our belt

David and I graduated and to celebrate we originally were going to do an epic east coast road trip but a trip to Europe seemed more appropriate. When we first started dating we both had these huge long lists of places we wanted to travel to and knew that traveling would be a priority in our marriage. We make a lot of sacrifices in order to save the money to do so. Europe was a dream and we loved every minute of it (well almost every minute).
 We took a flight to lax landed at 7 am and had a layover until 7:45 that night so what do you do when you have 12 hours in California other than Disneyland... Go checkout the new Harry Potter world. 


 We had a fun day and loved Harry Potter land, universal studios on the other hand was not that impressive.
