When we booked our airbnb in Achern, we took a look at the map and realized how close we were to France, more importantly, Strasbourg! With only a half-hour car ride away, we decided to dedicate one day to exploring la français. France has always held a dear spot in my heart. French class was … More Strasbourg, France

Going on our sixth hockey season break, we both agreed that going on another week-long vacation without Shadow just felt wrong. We also agreed that while there are still so many places we want to see, our home for the past three years has been Germany – so why not explore more of the country … More Schwarzwald (The Black Forest)

There is truly nothing like December in Germany. Everywhere you go, big or small, Christmas decorations and string lights are up and there is always a hut filled with mulled wine and bratwurst.

There is no better way for team bonding to occur than by going to Oktoberfest together 😆 So, the Roosters and their wives/girlfriends took a bus down to Stuttgart to have a night of fun and to celebrate the German culture.
