Europe really surprises me. It's just so easy to go from one country to the next. In the states, if I drive 4 hours south, I'll still be in the same state. It's not as cool. 

While my family and I were planning our trip to Prague, we decided to spend one of the days doing a day trip to the Saxon-Switzerland National Park. It's situated in the North of Czech and shares some of the southern border of Germany. It wasn't that long of a drive, we left after breakfast and arrived before lunch time for some hiking and sightseeing. 

Saxon-Switzerland does not mean you're going to Switzerland. I could tell you how gorgeous it is, but I'll let the photos speak for themselves! 


















The Elbe River flows through the park, which is pretty cool. Our tour even included a meal halfway between which was delicious! Especially the dessert! 




Have you ever been to Saxon-Switzerland National Park? If you haven't, what is your favorite national park? 

I hope you're still enjoying these posts, I'm trying to spread them out so you can enjoy them all summer! 
See ya next time!

If you haven't noticed, my second semester away from home has come to an end, giving me more time to help bake which is something I love to do. These cookies, that I've titled this post after, have been passed down through generations and this season it was my turn to learn it. Along with traditions, there are usually stories told with them. For these cookies, the legend is...there has to be sun or they just will not work! 

This year, my mom had previously made a batch and the days forecast for our baking day? Rain. 

It's easier to bake each set one by one, instead of two pans at a time. You're also meant to wait until the pan cools off as they're very finicky (it's not only the sun that has to be right about them).
