Summer of Fun Part 1...Germany, Austria, Paris

We have had such a busy summer! We were so blessed to have so many family members come and visit us. We also did some traveling on our own, which included a Baltic Cruise! Here are some captured moments from our amazing summer.

Punting in Cambridge with my sister, Cate

Then we went to GERMANY and AUSTRIA!

Neuschwanstein Castle

Matt and Myla made it to the top of the Alpspitze

A crazy German delight

While my sister was in town, we decided to do something crazy. The two of us woke up early in the morning, drove to the tube station, got on a tube to London, and there we switched to a train that took us straight into Paris, France. It is amazing that we can get from London, England to Paris, France in just two hours! The train goes under the English Channel!

After arriving in Paris, we decided to do our own makeshift walking tour. We did not take a single taxi all day and did not even sit to eat (we opted for some delicious nutella/banana crepes as we walked down the  Champs-Élysées). We walked all day until it was time to hop back on the train to England and we were back at home that night. Yes, we walked Paris in one day! Here are some pictures:

Any Harry Potter fans?

Beautiful Paris

Also this summer, a very special girl turned two years old! Happy birthday to my sweet, sweet, Ainsley!
