Our day in Rome started off with our family devotions on the veranda. The little ones joined us and then played as we continued in the family conversation of what we should do for the day. This trip had been restful, rejuvenating, and rewarding in every sort of way. I have loved most the simple everyday moments spent with Danny Boy.
We had no idea there would be rain in Rome today! (Note to self: check the weather app often!) When we started our day with breakfast in the courtyard, Danny was splashing in the fountain and watching the birds with bright blue skies and sunshine.
Danny boy slept the entire flight to Rome. As he woke up, his niece Emmy could be heard across the aisles saying, “Welcome to Rome!” Danny wiped his eyes and cuddled a bit more. Continue reading “Welcome to Rome!”
We woke early for a picnic in Paris. We have found it is best to arrive in Paris around six am in order to find parking and have less foot traffic to navigate through.
We decided to sleep in to a more reasonable hour and then head out to enjoy a day in Normandy. Danny Boy requested a picnic in Normandy. He also wanted to run and play on the beach. This trip was most important to my Joe because of his family who served here during the war. His uncle who died in Europe serving in the CIA and his father who served in the airforce. Both of them were in Normandy at different times during the war.
Our second day in Paris was a dream come true! We made our way into the city early in the morning, before the sunrise, for our photos in Paris. Prior to our trip, I secured a local photographer to take these memorable photos for us.
Bienvenue à Paris! Translated as, Welcome to Paris! Well friends, we have arrived in Paris. Danny boy cheered from his seat in the plane as he saw we were approaching.
Today, was a royal day in England. We made another bright and early start to our day. We successfully made our way into the center of London using Uber. We have found Uber to be the best price for travel so far. The conversations with our drivers are entertaining as well.
Today we enjoyed a stroll through London.
Danny Boy woke up to his daddy serving him cherries in bed! We decided to take our time this morning, allowing Danny to sleep until almost 11! After fourteen hours of sleep he woke cheerfully to cherries and conversation with Miss Emmy (who had been awake for hours waiting for him).
