During our visit to LEGOLAND I found out there was a small memorial sight in the nearby city of Grinsted. As someone who is interested in anything World War 2 related, I had to have a look! Especially since it took the Axis only 6 hours to conquer Denmark, I was curious what to find here.

As often you have with city trips in Germany, the old town (Alt Stadt) usually gets your attention. On the bank of the Elbe lies the historical centre with buildings from the Renaissance, the Baroque and kept or regained its charm after its destruction during World War 2.
One of Sister-in-law’s lives here for some years now, but I never got a chance to visit the Alt Stadt, until now.
We kicked off our Paris weekend with a twist — not with Disney fireworks or mouse ears, but a calm underwater stroll at SEA LIFE Paris. With our Disneyland tickets only valid the next day, we had a free afternoon and a restless 4-year-old. SEA LIFE was the perfect pre-Disney warm-up: just enough stimulation, zero stress.
For those who are long time readers of my blog it is obvious that I am quite a history buff when it comes to World War II memorials. Last month I had a business trip in Luxembourg city, and to my surprise there was not only an American Cemetery, but also an Axis one.

Located just outside Hannover, Dinopark Münchehagen is Germany’s largest dinosaur-themed scientific adventure & theme park, offering a 2.5 km circular trail populated with over 300 life‑size dinosaur and prehistoric models, guiding you through multiple geological eras(from Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous till date) complete with detailed info in German and English. We took our 4-Year-Old to this park and as a little dino-enthusiast, he was hooked. Trust me, it took a lot of effort to make him get in the car and leave this park.
Visiting Auschwitz is a sobering experience, a stark reminder of one of the darkest chapters in human history. This guided tour through Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau, led by our knowledgeable guide Lukas, provided an in-depth look at the atrocities committed within these camps.
In November 2024, we had a fun week filled with activities in the capital of Finland, Helsinki. From discovering SEA LIFE, eating local foods and seeing a lot of Moomin (Finland’s beloved storybooks). Helsinki has enough activities to keep you and your toddler happy!

If you’re visiting Helsinki with a toddler, SEA LIFE Helsinki is a must-see attraction that offers an exciting and educational indoor experience. Your little one can explore a fascinating underwater world filled with colorful tropical fish, jellyfish, seahorses, and even sharks!
Make sure to enjoy the beautiful leaning tower of Pisa and the basilica! And know travelling with a 3 year old, you cannot access anything 😁.
that meant for us, only a quick stop to enoy some gellatino, pizza and the view from outside. And of course, make the mandatory picture!
Going to the beautiful coastline of South France is a must on your to do list for travelling within Europe, and also to tick off a mini state on your visited countries list in Monaco. Back in March of 2023 we went to Nice, Antibes, Cannes and Monaco.
Antibes is a very small, but charming city on the southern coastline of France. In between bigger places like Nice, Cannes and Monaco it is a great getaway to explore the coastline. But, visiting with a toddler Antibes has enough to offer!
