Planning Dates for a visit to Europe/Germany

For those of you that are interested in meeting up with us while visiting Europe, or in visiting us in Dusseldorf, Heather and I have compiled some suggested 2015 dates that work for our schedule.  Other dates may work as well, but we thought we would start with these to begin a planning process  July is not good for us, we will be in Baltimore for the last 2 weeks of July.

Here are our suggested date ranges:

February 14-22   Monday the 16th is Carnival, which has parades and celebration, so good for kids and adults.

April 23 - May 3  April 25 and 26 is a major beer festival in Leuven, Belgium (just outside of Brussels, about a 2.5 hour drive from us)  If interested, we need to plan ahead (NOW!) to get accomodations.

May 14-31         

September         The whole month of September is wide open

December 5 - 20 This is a good time to visit with small children, because the Christmas markets are open.

I hope this makes planning a visit to Europe easier, we would love to have visitors and share this European experience with as much family and as many friends as possible.  I can help you plan the trip from my end as well, since I am Chief Vacation Planner for the family.
