My little sis Kristin said I needed to blog about our trip to Europe. I said that I wanted to, but I didn't know where to start.
Cue Julie Andrews as Maria Von Trapp:
"Let's start at the very beginning...a very good place to start..."
We didn't get to see William or Kate, and believe me, we were looking. It also rained a lot, but we didn't care. Not one little bit.
Where else do they have giant lion statues but London?
After the first of several rainstorms, we stumbled into a lovely London Pub. It was magical.
I said to Kristin, "That beer looks a lot like you."
"Why?" She asked.
"Because its tall and blonde."
Prawn Cocktail potato crisps are delicious, I might add.
If you must leave London, you should probably take the Channel Tunnel train to Paris. Swell.
Parisians also sell delicious treats. C'est Magnifique.
And you can see Notre Dame from the Seine if you are very, very lucky to take an evening boat cruise.
Traveling with the Neaders by bike through the streets of Paris. Fantastic!
I want to go back.
The Louvre is pretty great, too. Even if your feet really hurt because earlier the same day you took a train to Reims, France to see where your most favorite champagne is made.
When I come back to Reims, I will:
1. Speak more French.
2. Spend more than four hours in the city
3. Visit the tasting rooms of other sellers. But not necessarily more cellars.
To be perfectly honest, the Veuve Clicquot tour was a little dry. But, nevertheless, by the end, we were all a little rose.
After all the bubbly, we left Paris and headed for one of finest examples of socialism I have ever seen, Copenhagen, Denmark.
We had a fantastic time catching up with old friends and enjoying more boat tours. This particular boat tour, sponsored by the marriage of Brian and Signe, featured picturesque views of Copenhagen on a ridiculously sunny day washed down by multiple glasses of bubbly.
You might call that a trifecta.
This couple is certainly an exacta, in any country.
After all those wonderful places, you will be extra glad you have such a wonderful travel buddy. You will be ready to come home and ready to plan your next trip.
You will love your husband more than ever.
You will be happy you are 30 and able to do such wonderful things.
You will pray every night in gratitude for all the blessings in your life!
