London, England

We traveled to London and had a GREAT time. Tons of things to do and see (here is a small sample)



Abbey Road (The Beatles)

Normandy, France

We rented a car in France and drove out to Normandy to see Omaha beach and other areas



We found a castle in our tour book, so we decided to make the 4 hour drive and it was well worth it!! You can only go up to the castle during certain times of the day because the tide comes in and covers the road. Luckily, we made it just in time.

Paris, France

we traveled to Paris. We loved sitting at the coffee shops and "people watch". There are SO many pictures of Paris, so these are just a tiny sample...





Top of the Swiss Alps!

To get up to the top of the Swiss Alps, we took the Jungfraubahn, which consisted of 3 separate trains. The top one had tracks like a roller coaster, so the train could "click" into place and not slide.



Here is the CUTEST St. Bernard! He had his warm drink around his neck


We got engaged on the Swiss Alps

The infamous Proposal on top the Swiss Alps!!!

Tully is such a romantic!

Interlaken, Switzerland

us chilling out on the train




AHHH!!!! Switzerland....what can I say? My FAVORITE country! SO beautiful!!

We traveled to Interlaken, Switzerland. It is located in the Bernese Oberland (which is part of the Swiss Alps)





Oh, and a random Hooters in Interlaken
At night, we were walking down the street and these two boys broke out their Alpenhorns and decided to play some tunes. It was VERY cool to see (and hear)


Vienna, Austria

We went to Vienna, which we thought we beautiful, but a little boring. Luckily, we only went for the day, so we walked around a lot and then hopped onto an earlier train.






Here is one of the "nicer" overnight trains. With our two bags, and us, we JUST BARELY fit.

Prague, Czech Republic

we traveled to Prague, which was a BEAUTIFUL city!!





This is a typical Tully picture (you can't see it on here, but the guard is giving Tully a funny look)




This picture was in the Jewish Quarter, which had a lot of historic shuls and little shops

Munich, Germany

We went to Munich, Germany, which was probably one of our favorite cities. We went to the Hofbrauhaus, which is a famous beer hall. The glasses were enormous! Mine was half beer / half lemonade (yum!). They had a band and people got up and danced on the tables.




We also went to Marienplatz, which is a popular square where people gather during certain times of the day watch the clocks put on a little show






Oh, and Tully has his "water in a box"

Berlin, Germany



We also went to Berlin, Germany, which was a very pretty city

Auschwitz and Birkenau




While in Poland (we only went for the day), we took a tour of the concentration camps

Krakow, Poland















we took an overnight train to Poland, which Tully and I nicknamed the "Evil Polish Express" There was a MIDNIGHT stop in Katowice, Poland, which was a little scary, but we managed to switch trains with no problem. We didn't get any sleep though because of Customs waking us up multiple times and screaming in German and Polish.
