Adventures in Deutschland: Rhine River Cruise

WE had a wonderful time with Steve and Ann on the Rhine River Cruise last week. The weather wasn't the greatest that day, but the cruise was still beautiful and worth the trip. We sure do live in a beautiful country. 
We started in Bingen and cruised up to St. Goar about an hour and a half up the Rhine and then took the train back along the river back to Bingen. There are over 20 castles along the river between these two towns. It was beautiful. The towns along the river were neat with a ton of old charm. 
A perfect way to spend the day and see all the castles. 











 Bought a fantastic bottle of wine from this lady.

Adventures In Deutschland & Beyond: Bruges

Bruges in Insagram photos! 
Love this place. It's a new favorite. 
Ate my weight in waffles and chocolate during the weekend! 
It was wonderful (eating waffles and chocolate and this beautiful city)!
I'll post more photos and writing later.

Major Shaub!

Ben pinned on Major at the beginning of August along with his buddy Dennis. 
The boys had their promotion ceremony together. It was a great experience. Lots of people turned out to support Ben and Dennis (or just have a little break from work and enjoy the cake! Ha). Their commander Col. Graze performed the ceremony and kept things light and funny. And didn't mind all of our crazy kids running around! 

I am so proud of Ben for the WAY he works. With the highest dedication, honor and integrity to those he serves... people, his country and most importantly the Lord. 
Way to go Major Shaub!
