In 2012 the authors flew to Europe in order to view David Hockney's "A Bigger Picture" Exhibition at Museum Ludwig in Cologne. Their itinerary also included England and Amsterdam. At the end of each day they wrote up their day's experiences and posted them to their blog. Collected here as part of their "Travel With Us" series, "Travel with us to Amsterdam, England and Cologne" is a humorous eye witness account of their adventures.

Highlights of the book include a visit to the Anne Frank and Van Gogh museums in Amsterdam, visits to the Christmas Markets, the Claudius Therme spa, and the Hockney Exhibit in Cologne as well as various misadventures, including sprained ankles, stinky towels, surly waiters, and breakdowns on trains. This book, which includes photos, is an honest and often very funny portrait of the joys and frustrations that come with international travel.
