Hello and welcome! Im so glad you stopped by my trip report! If you are up for a crazy adventure including four adults, four kids, two cities and a whole lot of fun, then this is the place for you! Before I get ahead of myself, let me introduce you to our traveling party!
Were a pretty good looking group if I do say so myself. Starting in the top left corner is my dad. He is the best dad in the world. When hes not working, he loves to cook, travel and read.
Next to him is my mom. Mom is an English teacher and when shes not busy grading papers or planning lessons she likes to read and watch soap operas. This trip she especially enjoyed getting to see Kensington Palace as shes a HUGE Princess Diana fan. Ill have to take a picture of the bookshelf in our study, its full of books on the royal family!
Beside Mom is Aunt C. She is the resident photographer in our group, though Dad took a lot as well. She loves to plan trips and read about new places to go. Aunt C is very witty and fun to be around!
Rounding out the adults in our group is Uncle R. He is one of my moms brothers and is a math teacher. He is very into history, making us connect more than we have in the past because of the extensive history class I took prior to the trip. We had fun going back and forth about certain subjects with all of our trivia.
On the left side of the bottom row we have our littlest traveler, Thing3. Thing3 is my youngest sister, shes 8 (or as she tells everyone 8 and a half). She is a competition dancer (and very talented if I might brag) and recently got into the honors program at her school. Her favorite parts of the trip were probably eating crepes in Paris and seeing all the Princess Kate related things in London.
Next to her is me, Thing1. Im 16 years old and love to plan trips and write trip reports to keep the memories fresh in my head. When Im not in school take and teach dance classes, am on the speech team and the mathletes team and am in the tech crew for our drama department as well as work for the theater program after school. My favorite part of the trip was seeing Westminster Abbey because it brought the royal wedding to life for me.
Beside me is my cousin, Kay. Kay is 14 years old but quick to mention shell be 15 next month. She loves animals of all kinds (recently they had 11 cats because she kept bringing strays home), running track and being in the plays and musicals at her school. Her favorite parts of the trip were eating macaroons and seeing the Eiffel Tower.
Rounding out our group is my other sister, Thing2. Thing2 was 12 when we left on the trip but came home 13. She plays the piano, percussion in her school band and is an a choir program outside of school. She loves fashion, making Paris a very exciting destination for her.
Now that we have introductions out of the way, lets go over a few more details!
Who: We covered that!
What: A trip to London and Paris
When: June 12th 30th
Where: London and Paris
Why: Part of the reason we took the trip was for Aunt C and Uncle Rs 25th anniversary. However, another reason was just because we love traveling with them! Weve done at least a part of a vacation with them for the past three years, going to Hawaii, Disney, Michigan and now Europe together.
If youve made it through all of this, I applaud you! Thank you for reading and please leave a comment to let me know youre reading along, I dont bite, I promise!
