Beautiful photos! Also sidebar, whenever I see “Budapest”, I start humming “we didn’t start the fire” by Billy Joel as that’s one of the lyrics 😂

Ok I officially want to go back and try some of these places and activities I missed on my last visit. What a fun trip! And obsessed with this euro moms trip idea. So cool that you guys have gone on trips consistently over the years. Proposing this idea in the group chat now...

Yes 🙌🏼 love to hear it! It’s definitely a fun way to stay connected with great friends as we (and our kids) get older and busier!

This Gösser Strawberry Spritz sounds like a radler of sorts? This sounds like something we need to have!

I think it was like a radler! I can't even remember the ratio or exact ingredients. blame fighting jet lag!

What a trip!! I’ve spent one day in Budapest, but we really used it as a kicking off point to go elsewhere and I regretted it because it seems like there is so much to do (and eat) in this beautiful city. Now I’m feeling that all over again! 😅

I also vividly remember getting lost because unlike many European countries, the signs weren’t also displayed in English, and Hungarian names/words are longggg.

oh but even one day is still pretty great. where else did you travel on that trip!?

I feel that about the language and long words. and just a lot of Zs. especially when you're (kinda/somewhat) used to western european languages.

OMG Kristen, I love the moment of serendipity! That colour is GORGEOUS 😍. I'm also now dreaming of that grilled cheese waffle sandwich and the dessert pancakes. I can almost taste them through the screen!!!

I will forever be taking serendipity notes since you wrote that post awhile back. I have so many.

and yep, both those dishes are dream worthy!

I love when we take the opportunity to slow down and notice. This makes my heart sing!
