Just a few highlights from an incredible trip. It was so fun to share with my girls and my mom. We saw so much history, culture and filth. The girls enjoyed taking pictures of everything from flowers, buildings and doors. They enjoyed the vast contrast to America. Although it was smelly, dirty and gross at times; it was the trip of a lifetime.

They learned to ride the Metro and the Tube and did great! We were stranded on the french freeway for a couple hours and they made the best of it. We walked, ran, strolled, ate baguettes everyday for lunch and were exhausted at the end of each day.

Saw castles, palaces, cathedrals, changing of the guard at Buckingham, WICKED, countryside in France and England, rode the Eurostar and in the end got stuck in Chicago coming home.

This trip was amazing, incredible, exhausting, thrilling, frustrating and challenging. I will treasure this experience always. So much fun to have the girls and my mom along. Can't wait to go again!
