I live in Birmingham, Michigan, with my husband Kyle, our son Nathan and our daughter Evelyn. The blog is named for our late dog Pete, a Rhodesian Ridgeback who died in 2014. Late in 2015, we returned to the US after living five years overseas (Seoul, South Korea and Königstein im Taunus, Germany).

I Feel The Need, The Need For Speed!

It was my parents' wedding anniversary (February 17) and after considering Nathan's school schedule, I determined Monday was the best day to take an adventure. I went downstairs and woke Jess up. "Do you want to go France for lunch?!"

To our credit, neither Jess nor I had an idea what was in store. We just went! I had done little more than google Strasbourg, France. We chose "Strasbourg city center" from our navi menu and off we went. 

Road trip!
And on this little day out in France, it seems Jess took part in yet another first...Quelle surprise!  My first speeding ticket. Oopsie! To really complete my need-for-speed experience, the letter accompanying the ticket was in German. The ticket itself is in French. Parfait! 

Ready for adventure (and a restroom)

Using the Apple store wifi to let Kyle and Mom know we are safe in France
Cheers to our adorable spot for lunch!
We were wary of the dark beer, but it was delicious!
Evy's first time in France!

A little diaper change before we head home
Now I can say, "Remember that one time we drove to France for lunch on Mom and Dad's anniversary? And I got a speeding ticket?" Cheers to our adventure!
