If you are anything like myself, then you might feel a little giddy every time you look at the weekend weather forecast and see a glorious prediction of mild temperatures and sunshine. This weekend my family and I decided to plan a one day, no-frills excursion only 50 minutes away to Luisenpark, Mannheim.

My third trip with Army Outdoor Recreation was to Copenhagen, Denmark on the Copenhagen Express. Between Copenhagen’s waterways and beautiful colored buildings, I suggest anyone and everyone put Denmark on their list of must-see places.

During winter, there are days where our thoughts are bombarded with notions of spending long hours outdoors, simply relaxing. We imagine ourselves leisurely enjoying a stroll through a park, sitting a few hours with friends in a cafe, sitting by the edge of water and occasionally jumping in to escape the summer heat.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a beautiful place to visit, located right at the foot of the Alps. Garmisch and Partenkirchen used to be two separate places, but were merged for the 1936 Winter Olympics. It may be a five-hour drive from Ramstein, but it is definitely worth the drive with places to stop and stretch your legs along the way as you admire the beautiful scenery.

We learn many things as children that become a habit once we are adults. Only some of these things make you feel as alive and free as riding your bike. Once we are grown-up, our cars often become a symbol of personal independence and freedom. It is easy to forget how powerful riding a bike can feel. Peddling your way through nature, the speed of life is achieved through a gratifying combination of endurance, terrain and mechanics.
