Sankt Wendel Christmas Market

Sankt Wendel from Tanae Sorenson on Vimeo.

Christmas is a pretty magical time in Germany! Yesterday we went to the Sankt Wendel Christmas Market, (which is one of my favorites) so I thought I'd practice some more video and try to capture a bit of the magic of Christmas time and markets with kids. A little more challenging than I'd thought it'd be without my husband to keep track of my daughter while I focused on shooting! Luckily I have pretty awesome friends! If theirs a Christmas market near you, I definitely recommend going! And if you have kids, going during a weekday is especially nice because while you may miss the night and lights, it's less crowded and has a special magic all it's own.

The Barefoot Park | "Barfusspfad"

Wednesday, July 27, 2016

I'm always on the lookout for fun family outings around the Kaiserslautern area and the Barefoot Park or "Barfusspfad" in Bad Sobernheim definitely met all of those qualifications! Our kids loved climbing over the obstacle courses, walking through the muddy clay, trekking through the cold water, and basking in the general gloriousness of being shoe-free!
Growing up, playing outside barefoot was a common occurrence, so slipping off my shoes and skipping and shuffling over the varying textures of this trail felt like stepping into the past.

If you and your family like being outdoors and don't mind being barefoot, you'll love walking and documenting your family playing in this beautiful park.

Ticket's were $4 for adults and $2.50 for ages 3-17. We were on a bit of a schedule that day unfortunately, but otherwise could have easily spent the entire day there playing, exploring and eating goodies from the brat and ice cream stands.
If this looks like a place your family would enjoy, their website is below with more info.

Chatsworth

Monday, November 02, 2015

Part two of our trip to London. The Chatsworth House, or to my fellow Pride and Prejudice fans, Mr. Darcy's Mansion! I can't say enough amazing things about this place so I'll keep it short and simple. It was beautiful, thought provoking, and every statue, painting and sculpture tickled my mind with creative pleasure. I hope you enjoy my photos for they only create a small taste of the exquisiteness of this house. Oh and if you missed our crazy driving adventures to this amazing house, you can read it here.

Can't you see Mr. Darcy chasing Elizabeth down here? Have I mentioned I'm in love with this movie... you might hear it again.

This particular room was so interesting. There were figures and items in the room painted and lit in such a way that they looked like they were hovering off the walls, like this floating woman in the bottom left corner.
