The weekend after my Berlin trip, I went to Munich. This time it was a really small trip with just three of us going, myself and Jon & Kelly (I group them together because they are married).

Berlin- or should I call it land of the Kreutz
Growing up with the last name of Kreutz, I always wanted to travel to Germany.
