The Naylors in Germany & Beyond

  A few weekends ago Drew and I took a quick trip to Prague. We took the 5 hour train from Munich on Friday afternoon and came back on Sunday evening. We felt that Prague is a really great weekend trip since you can see and do pretty much everything there is to offer.  Here are the highlights of our trip: 1. Enjoying the traditional Prague dessert- the Trdelník. Although this dessert is actually said to have it's origins in Slovakia or Hungary, it has become a pretty big deal in Prague :) It is a chimney cake that is baked on a spit and then dusted in cinnamon sugar. Nowadays you can get them all different ways... with ice cream, chocolate, strawberries, nuts, etc. My favorite was the ice cream and chocolate. YUM!  2. Trying all the kolaches and pastries at a local farmer's market. This isn't a huge touristy thing to do in Prague as it is a little bit outside the main area but this was probably our favorite thing we did while in Prague. The market was right on the water wit

At the beginning of August, we had the privilege of going to Paris for a super quick weekend trip. It was a total whirlwind but it was tons of fun. This was Drew's first time to visit Paris and my second time. It's been so fun going to back to places with Drew and having a totally different experience. We landed in Paris in the evening and decided to head straight to the Eiffel Tower to see it at night. As soon as we got through security, the lights on the tower started flashing. It was so beautiful! We then went to see the Louvre at night. Our Saturday was jammed packed with things to do, sights to see, and pastries to eat! It was a great day. I think we ended up walking 30,000 steps that day and there was a heat wave in Paris that weekend. So, we definitely earned all those macaroons we ate :) Here is a look at our day in Paris: We started our day off by going back to the Eiffel Tower!  Views from the top!
