European Adventure -- Paris Highlights

Paris was fantastic! We saw a ton in only a few days, from the Louvre and Versailles to Arc de Triomphe and the Phantom's Box 5 in the Garnier Opera House. A ton of fun in a magical city.

European Adventure -- The Eiffel Tower

Amazing! We loved the Eiffel Tower! We climbed it and loved the views, but especially loved seeing it all lit up and sparkling at night.
 
 

European Adventure -- Verona

Verona was a great Italian town. Full of piazzas and plazas, fountains and great food. We had a fun day there, exploring the old city. We saw Juliet's house and famous balcony, as well as Roman ruins and other amazing sites. Oh, and the best pasta meal we've ever had. La Dolche Vita!

European Adventure -- Salzburg

The hills are alive! We loved our time in Salzburg! We explored the Old City with Mozart's home and little streets and squares, then went on a fun Sound of Music tour, driving through the city and countryside on a pilgrimage to all the fun sites where they filmed the movie and where the actual von Trapp family lived. What a beautiful city and countryside! We had a great time.

European Adventure -- Rothenburg

Rothenburg is the most amazing town we've ever been to. A wonderfully preserved medieval town full of quaint buildings and sites and lots of fun things to see and do. We enjoyed several museums and tours and yummy treats and shopping and had a good time there.

European Adventure -- Castles

We had a great day exploring the castles near Fussen, Germany including Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau. Amazing!

 

European Adventure -- Munich

Munich was a surprise addition to our itinerary, but turned out to be a good day. A day of different experiences, from the grimness of Dachau to the opulence of the Nymphenburg Palace and Gardens, and from the small wonders of the Bavarian National Museum to the large scale grandness of the Glockenspiel in the Marianplatz Town Square. It was a good day and we're glad we fit Munich in.

European Adventure -- Venice

We had a great time on our trip to Europe! Our first major stop was in Venice. We loved the Grand Canal tour, Piazza San Marco, a glassblowing demonstration, lots of yummy Italian gelato and all those amazing canals and bridges and boats and everything that makes Venice so magical.
