While we normally don’t visit places twice the cute Dudeldorf Christmas Market is close and worth visiting each year. It’s only open one weekend each year so make sure you have it on your calendar if you want to go. Plus it’s kinda nostalgic for us because we arrived just over a year ago on a Sunday and visited this market on the following Saturday, it was our first day trip and Christmas Market [Read more…]
This was our first year going to the Trier Christmas Market. Unfortunately I can’t say that I was super impressed but we went so I can check it off our list! I think the hardest part is the the Christmas markets are all pretty much the same and the few awesome ones we’ve seen make it hard for the ’standard’ ones to live up too, LOL!
Parking is hard to find in Trier so know where the parking garages [Read more…]
Today I share with you information about Military Overseas Free Flights for College Students to visit! If you are stationed at an OCONUS assignment (Overseas including Alaska & Hawaii) then this perk applies to you! It’s also know an Student Dependent Transportation, Student Dependent Travel, or Dependent Student Travel, because apparently one name would be too easy 😉
The military has a program [Read more…]
On Bub’s birthday last month we decided to take him to Karthalle Wittlich to go Go-Karting. He had done it in Belgium with a friend and had fun but we are wanting to wait to go there while Boo is back for his Christmas break, so we decided to check this one out because it’s so close.
It was easy to find, the GSP address took us right to the building, however it is behind a car wash and at first [Read more…]
December is another busy month here in Germany for festivals! December festivals around Spangdahlem has some great things to go see. We had a opportunity to check out 2 of the Christmas markets from the November Festivals. Again these are generally no more than 3 hours away, although I may throw in one or two further away ones if I think that they are something to consider.
There are festivals for [Read more…]

We have a lot to be thankful for this year! We have officially been in Germany for 1 year. Last year we spent Thanksgiving at the Chow Hall (DFAC) this year we ate a delicious homemade Thanksgiving meal shared with some friends, credit for the meal goes to my amazing hubby and Bea.
We are thankful that Boo is doing well in his freshman year at collage [Read more…]
If your headed to Spangdahlem AB I bet you’ve been on the computer putting in some research time. I’ve decide to do a post about commonly asked newcomers questions for Spangdahlem, AB. I know I spent many hours researching before we headed this way. Over the past year I’ve been helping answer newcomers questions, so I’ve compiled some helpful info that I’ve acquired and have been sharing with others, [Read more…]
Schinderhannes found at Hotel Landgasthaus in Sohren, Germany is a great lunch treat after shopping at Kaefer’s. They offer some yummy daily lunch specials and we found them to be quite delicious! It’s literally a minute drive down the street from Kaefer’s.
The best thing is that for lunch they offer a 3 course meal for €9,80! It’s a different meal choice each day but the one we had was delicious! [Read more…]
Kaefer’s Das Porzellenhaus or (Kafer’s Porcelin house) in Sohren, Germany is a must see shopping spot! It’s great for shopping for yourself as well as gifts for family! It’s mainly known as Kaefer’s to the military community. It’s well worth the 1 hour drive especially if you combine with the lunch specials at Schinderhannes (blog post coming!).
So what can you find a Kaefer’s? Lots of stuff! [Read more…]
Kelley Barracks Hotel is a great place to stay if your hanging out in the Stuttgart area. Unlike typical billeting you also get a free complimentary breakfast here! While it’s not a huge selection (more further down) it is decent and better than the none you get at most billeting 😉 Reservations can be made 7 days out for Space A by calling the Kelley Hotel.
The rooms were fairly large. Our had [Read more…]
