Trip to Tallinn

We took mom to Tallinn to cross another city off her travel list. Tallinn is a beautiful little city, and the drive over is always exciting. We had a fantastic time touring the medieval city, shopping for treasures and snacking on the local cuisine.






We had fairly extreme weather when we were there- most days were super hot, but the second day was raining and super cold! Luckily mom and I had brought our rain coats!

Visit from Mom W.

















On my way back from Kansas I picked up my mom in Paris and brought her to Russia with me. The hot weather of Kansas followed me and we had sunny and hot weather the whole trip! We began our adventure at Peterhoff

A side trip to Kansas


After touring around Europe I left the Kaser family and headed to the metropolis of Wichita, Kansas for a conference for school. I actually had a blast there, it was super hot but I loved walking by the river and eating Subway sandwiches. I of course took the opportunity to do some clothes shopping too! My conference was great, and I made a new friend, but the best part of the trip was that my dad was able to come out to see me for my birthday!

Family Time!

Josh and I have had a fun filled month of mom and dad visits. First up was Josh's parents! We started our adventure here in Russia. Luckily we had beautiful weather, only a few days before they arrived we were still in our jeans and sweatshirts, but the Kaser’s brought only sunshine with them! We did all the normal touristy sights; here are pictures from a few of the favorites.

Boat touring











And the highlight of the summer- The beer garden!




We then took off to Germany to see the Passion Play! It was truly a once in a life time opportunity. While we were not permitted to take pictures during the play we managed to snap a few before the show began-





After our adventures in Germany we continued on to Lyon, France. It was a charming town full of beautiful cathedrals, and delicious restaurants. And of course, what would a trip to France be without a wine tour!


















Miss you guys!
