On the heels of an amazing trip sailing in the Virgin Islands, Kenzie and I had another trip already planned to Germany. For a few years, she’s been talking about wanting to see the European Christmas Markets, and I found a great deal on a flight so we booked it. At her age it seemed like a good opportunity to explore World War Two and Cold War history too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We left the day before Thanksgiving (so for us, Thanksgiving dinner turned out to be pretzels and German sausage… no complaints from either of us though).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First stop was Munich, which was a great time seeing Christmas Markets, as well as a more sobering half-day trip to Dachau to visit a concentration camp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
