Aww - thanks for asking! I have to run to a meeting in a few minutes so here's the quick rundown.

AWESOME. Loved it. So much fun.

Flights there weren't great as we flew from MSP to Cincinnati (4.5 hour layover - but my family lives there so we went to lunch with everyone - great to see them as we don't see them as often as we should), then our flight to Paris landed early so we had over a 5 hour layover there. Landed in Nice and had a 1/2 hour ride to Juan les-Pines. All in all we were up for 40+ hours - at least the kids slept some. In Juan we had a great time - we stayed in an apartment that was a 5 minute walk to our BIL/SIL's house that had a pool! Spent many a days there as it was nice and relaxing. I got to meet my husbands SIL/neice/nephew for the first time ever (they live in Singapore) and she is the coolest person ever - they had the best kids. That was my favorite part. Another SIL got married while we were down there - very nice wedding. Went to Monte Carlo for a day and then another day my SIL and family members took our kids for the afternoon so we could go to Cannes by ourselves. We had a wonderful afternoon to ourselves and then got lost on the train back so it took us 2 hours to get back to where we should be - but it was an adventure!

In Paris we rented an apartment that was 4 blocks from the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is SOOO amazing. I have so many photos of it. One night we even got to see it sparkle with lights (something they do every hour for 5 minutes). We also took got a bus pass one day so we stopped at the Arc de Triomphe, Louve & Notre Dame. One day went to Luxembourg Gardens and walked around and the kids raced sailboats.

Then headed to Disneyland Paris for 2 days. It was fun. Not sure if we'd do it again because it's just a smaller version of WDW in Orlando, but again fun for the kids. Although I left my wallet in the safe at our DLP hotel and noticed when we got to the airport. Luckily it was there and they mailed it back (got it on Monday). And on the way home we were able to switch to a non-stop flight for free, so got home 5 hours earlier!

All in all a great trip. Loved it and would definitely go back! Would love to spend more time in the south of France.

I have lots of pictures - can share a link sometime when I get them all downloaded if interested. Two pics are in my signature - one of Colin at at the carousel at the Eiffel Tower and then the other of Lily modeling in Monte Carlo.

That sounds like an awesome trip!! Sounds like the kids were great too, I would probably have anxiety the whole time about DS having a melt down

So many awesome places you were able to visit so glad you had fun! The pictures are adorable would love to see more once you upload them. I haven't been to Europe yet but it's definitely in the near future I told DH we need to go while we're young
