Detroit Expat Ski Weekend in Austria - Year 2

This year our Detroit Expat Reunion Ski Trip was in Filzmoos, Austria. The weather and snow was not perfect (one day we had pouring rain - which made a trip to Salzburg possible) - but we had a good time - including great self made food in our little "kitchen wardrobe", played funny games in the evenings and the kids had a blast in a very family friendly setting (see Ronja's blog). "Jack the Kuerbis" - see you all for the 4th of July reunion this summer!

Skiweek in Les Arcs - France

What a great week we had in France - not as much snow as expected, but plenty of sunshine, a wonderful chalet and a funny group of 17 adults and 3 kids - here a few pictures of the more than 500 we took ;-). We had a birthday to celebrate, outstanding selfmade food and even a "Dinner-for-one" performance in our ski-in and ski-out house. Thanks again Rieker-Reisen for oganizing such a perfect trip!

A Winter Vacation Week in Germany

One week off in December - for us time for a nice roadtrip "Up North" with stops in

Leipzig (at the presidents),

Berlin (at the kids musical show of grandma Imme),

Island of Ruegen (wellness hotel at the Baltic Sea, walks/run along the coast and a steam train ride) and

Saxony (Erzgebirge, Seiffen - we stayed in a real castle while it snowed tons and we saw the traditional christmas parades and markets).
