Germany Christmas Markets Part 1: Winter Travel & Multigenerational Memories
There’s something special about winter travel – especially when it’s shared across generations. In Part One of this two-part episode, Jill is joined by her longtime friend Deanna Vogelsong to reflect on a festive trip through Germany’s Christmas Markets with husbands, a “third grandmother,” and a 19-year-old son in tow.
From Augsburg and Ulm to Würzburg and Frankfurt, this conversation focuses on the feel of winter travel: navigating cold weather, moving at a multigenerational pace, and leaning into the magic (and mishaps) that come with traveling together. This episode is about presence, flexibility, and why imperfect trips often become the most meaningful. Part Two continues the journey with lessons learned, favorite moments, and practical tips.
