You Are Going To Love It!
Visiting Cologne the first weekend of October has pretty much become a tradition for the trio of my brother (the mastermind), my husband (the driver) and myself (the organizer). It is a mix of duty and amusement without a part of the family who as well belong our best friends but better with them! It is happy, relaxed and funny and feels like a whole lot of a vacation. Next stop: Cologne!
Love, Johanna
