Play Day
adminWhile Jodi was at the Shamrock run with her team, Kenzie got to play with Tavon and his family.
Terezin (Czech Republic)
About an hour northwest of Prague is the Nazi concentration camp “Terezin.” Visiting a concentration camp is something I’ve always wanted to experience, but the way the timing worked out I was not able to take a traditional tour. So I opted to hire a taxi for the afternoon since this was the only way I’d be able to fit it in.
Terezin was not a typical killing camp like Auschwitz, but instead was a holding camp where people were gathered before being sent to an extermination camp. Even so, the condition resulted in many many people dying while they waited.
This was definitely not enjoyable in the traditional sense, but ABSOLUTELY something worth seeing at some point in your life. Being there and seeing this, it’s hard to wrap your head around what we as people can do to other people given the right circumstances.

Pool Day
Barbie invited us over to play in the pool and Kenzie got to play with Alex and Simon! After dinner we went to Red Robin for some burgers and thumb wars!
Day 1 – Paris
We only had 24 hours in Paris. But we managed to cover a lot of ground in a short time. We visited the Louve, the science museum, zig zagged around town on the subway, and had a fantastic lunch at a random cafe. By 3:00 it was off to the airport. Next stop…Prague.
A Quick Tour of Europe
Joel’s new job has him traveling to several of his company offices around the world. In January he had to go to New York so I took the opportunity to tag along and make use of his free hotel room and do some sight seeing while he was working. Then I took a quick trip to Boston on the way home. It worked out so well that we figured we’d try it again but this time to Europe. The plan is to meet up in Paris for a night, then visit Prague for a couple of days together, and from there he will head off to visit offices around Europe while I go to Stockholm and Athens on my own. Here goes…
