Not every episode gets recorded on a schedule — and this one definitely didn't. In this bonus episode, Zack and the family hunker down during a tornado warning and keep the conversation going anyway. It's a little chaotic, a little unplanned, and it's a chat with the kids about their upcoming summer plans and the previous school year. Sometimes the best moments happen when the weather has other ideas.

Cyndi Glidewell from GoTravelHelpers.com joins us on the very first episode of the Moon Ridge Podcast to share insights on traveling to Bavaria. Cyndi offers practical tips and firsthand perspective to help travelers make the most of one of Europe’s most iconic destinations.

We also talk about visiting Emily Glidewell while she was deployed to the Vilseck Army Base, exploring the historic Bavarian city of Nuremberg, and what travelers should know when visiting a service family member while traveling abroad.
