Our visit to Versailles Palace was marvelous. We spent the vast majority of our time in Marie Antionette’s play village.

How are we going to keep the toddler entertained for the entire 12 hour travel time? What ifContinue reading “2 days to go…”

Lark: enjoys eating just the ice cream cone, runningContinue reading “My travel mates:”
