Our Adventures in Europe!






We have a lot to post... so let's get to it!

On September 22, we all boarded a plane and headed to Paris. The plan was to attend Tuhin and Juliette's wedding there, followed by a weekend reception at a chateau in the Loire Valley - Chateau de Rignac. From there we were on our own, as long as we made it back to Paris to catch our return flight on 10/2.

With less than complete plans at the outset, we did pretty well! We made it into Burgundy to spend a night at the gorgeous Chateau de Lugny recommended by our good friends the Campodonicos.... then drove south into Provence and eventually Barcelona where we spent two nights with our friends Dave and Anjali - enjoying a year+ there while Anjali gets her MBA.

For a three year old, I was a major trooper. I met a lot of fun people along the way, thoroughly enjoyed the European playgrounds, and of course fresh french baguette and delicious ice cream throughout our travels. It was a magical time for our family... in part because we felt the magic of my little brother, still cooking in Mommy's tummy, with us along the way.

This first round is of our first day in Paris... the post-wedding boart ride and adventures.
