The Luckiest No Matter What!

PARIS By Josh WOW!  We can't believe that it is time for us to head home.  Just like the contrasts we saw throughout Europe, we are having contrasts about the end of our vacation.  We are sad to be done with the AMAZING sights and wonderful times together, but happy to see Primrose, our families, our friends, our flowers, Quality Dairy, and to have a glass of ICE COLD water.  Our day began with an attempted departure around 8:00am, but we encountered our first rain fall of the trip and had to head back to our hotel.  During the light rain, Josh went to get a croissant, crepe, and waffle for us to share for breakfast.  After about an hour of packing, the rain stopped and we took the subway to see Sacre Cour and Moulin Rouge.  The views from Sacre Cour were splendid.  We also saw the Montparte Cemetery and Moulin de La Galette during our time in that neighborhood, which were both hidden treasures.   The steps we walked up to ge...

PARIS By KMH Today we went to Disneyland Paris!!!!  We took a long subway (about 50 minutes) and then had to wait in a long line to buy tickets.  Upon going into Disneyland a little after 10:00, it quickly felt like home: the train, Main street USA, the castle, etc.  Entrance of Disneyland Paris Aurora's Castle Main street USA: just like Disney world and Disneyland in the U.S. Luckily they had a Haunted Mansion ride although it was called the Phantom Manor.  We then navigated through that park for a bit, riding Space Mountain 2 and Buzz Lightyear and then went over to Disney's Hollywood Studios around 11:00ish.  We went straight for the Tower of Terror to get a fast pass.  Always our favorite ride no matter which Disney we're at :) Rockin Roller coaster...closed that day :( After that, we went to Disney Village to eat and so some shopping.  We ate at Annie's Diner getting a burger, fries, and onion rings which totally ...

PARIS By Josh The train from Venice arrived promptly at 9:29am in Paris and we were on our way to discovery...sort of.  With Kristin's disdain for spending money and my hatred for lines, we decided it was a better idea to walk the 2.5 km to our hotel instead of riding a cab like most people would do.  Amazingly, we found the hotel and were able to get a room immediately.  The "Love Capsule" at the 5 Hotel.  This hotel gives you an experience for your five senses. There are twinkle lights, bright colors, amazingly soft beds, and smells in each individual room.  After a few minutes looking around the most different hotel room we have ever stayed in, we were off to see Paris.  We began our journey with a delicious sandwich on french bread in the Jardin du Luxembourg overlooking the Palais Du Luxembourg. This was truly a wonderful spot to eat.   Luxembourg Garden  YUM! We made our way to Notre Dame Cathedral, which is consid...
