Driving over a mountain and through a forest.

One random weekend we rented a car to stock up on groceries and run some errands. The beautiful fall colors were out, so we spent one afternoon driving. The camera could not capture the vivid colors of the forest.

Shopping in Germany.

100 Euro worth of stuff from Aldi. Look at that long hair, thankfully Alexis chopped it all off for me. Germany has one of the lowest costs of living in Europe, 6 tomatoes cost 1 euro.
