Lake Bostalsee

 

After our time at the Indoor Pool

( Aquamundo Waterpark )

We spent more time outside

It was beautiful day,

Not hot

The breeze was just perfect.

The boys loved it there.

We went for a walk around the area

To see this amazing spot,

Yes I know it would be there

I told hubby we can't skip it.

It's an upside down house,

My kind of house

For a cheap entrance fee

you can go inside,

It wasn't big but definitely entertaining.

Everything inside is upside down!

Definitely recommend if you are in the area!

We had such a fun day!

Aquamundo Waterpark (Bostalsee Centerparcs)

 

It was Indoor Pool time!

I love being out in the sun,

But sometimes Indoor swimming is a must.

We finally went to the Centerparcs,

It was so close to where we live so

we didn't need to stay overnight.

We came as early as we can,

But man..

It was so packed already!

IT was a beautiful day!

Some areas were not as packed

Thats where we hung out.

It was a big indoor swimming pool

The boys loved it.

It was drink time!

Cheers!

I got to bring a book

So I had a chance to read after little man's done swimming.

He got tired for a bit and just wanted to have snack.

After a few more hours

We found a spot to hangout by the playground

To have snack.

I packed it

Because I hate eating the same thing,

Or having a hard time finding something to munch on.

Cheers!

It was a fun fun day!

Seoul Restaurant (Ramstein, Germany)

 After getting a lot  Take out from this restaurant,

We finally went there and eat there. 

If it's my favorite food.

I like to at least go there for the experience.

We went during Lunch time,

Our favorite time to eat out.

Started off with some Ginger tea!

Cheers!

And some Kimchi Soup,

It was Yum!

Our order came in pretty quickly

The service was good too.

The lady that served us was so sweet.

I asked for everything spicy!

It was a good lunch!

Love their food!

Summer Festival Life

 

Meet me where the 

sun shine the brightest.

Fourth of July!

 

This is probably our last 4th of July in Germany,

I can't believe I'm saying that.

Feels like we just got here.

Anyways...

It was definitely a hot day.

But, that doesn't stop us from having a good day.

I had a really low expectations with the event on base this year,

It didn't matter to me if it was big or not. 

It did give me the USA vibes.

It's like you're in the US

Spicy Margarita first to start the fun!

Rides, Games and lots of sun on our few hours spending time there.

We had a good time.

We didn't plan on watching the fireworks,

It was too late for that.

But we were happy to still be able to go there and support the event.

There were so many foods to try,

I just picked the ones that is easy to share. 

They were good!

It was a great day!!

I wonder where we'll be next year.

I guess we're gonna find out together haha!

Sushi Cake

 

Last year I made

This amazing ( STEAK CAKE )

For hubby's Birthday.

I wasn't sure at first if I can make anything better.

I decided to give this Sushi Cake a try.

It was so good too!

I would say they both take time

But not as hard as you think!

It's a layer of 

Smoked salmon

Crab meat

Sushi rice

Avocado

Cream Cheese

Drizzled with eel sushi and sushi Mayo 

topped with jalapeno sliced, sesame seeds and furikake.

The good thing about is you can get more creative with it

and make it as you want it.

I used a Bundt pan.

make sure you spray it with cooking spray 

before starting.

I think he loved it and the boys did too!

Let me know what you think!

White Asparagus (Surf and Turf Night)

 

It's Spargel Season!

Germany's infamous White Asparagus season.

It comes in perfect with Summer's grilling season.

If you're like us that loves Asparagus for sides for steaks.

You would love this!

Last year I didn't think we were doing it right.

This time we cooked it as Germans does it

..And it was perfect!

It was Surf and Turf night so we grilled some Seafood too!

Salads for Side!

This visual inspiration is for anyone that is like me

that loves visual Inspirations for Dinner.

I find that better than a long videos or recipe for cooking!

It was the perfect dinner.

So happy we can do this all Summer long!

Hello July!

 

Time to shine brighter than the sun!!

Broadway Kino (Landstuhl, Germany)

 

We finally went to the movies!

I have been wanting to go for a while.

Having little kids is one of the reasons why we 

don't usually go,

But now they seem to be interested with it..

So we finally went in for a full movie!

Started off with something they would love.

Toy Story!

We went to the one in Landstuhl.

It was a very nice Movie theatre,

It was our first time!

Drinks while watching a movie?

Yes please!!

Some snacks and popcorn,

That they all hovered already.

It was a hot summer day so it was a perfect day to be indoors.

The AC was not crazy cold movie theatre kind,

But it will do.

We all had a great time!

Definitely will do it again!
