Many thanks to all of you who have contributed to helping me plan this trip. And I've been planning for 18 months.

My husband and I, and our 2 girls (ages 9 and 11) just returned last week from a 17 day trip:

July 7-12: Paris
July 12-19: Wengen, Switzerland
July 19-20: Fussen, Germany
July 20-22: Munich (our flight left 6 hours before the shootings on the 22nd!)

Here is the first day:

always looking for reports from one of my favorite places - haven't been in a while but these types of sure-to-be-excellent, considering the source, reports are gold.

Thanks!

Hmmm, for some reason, the blog is posting the days in reverse order, so you may have to scroll to the bottom if you haven't read from the beginning. Sorry!

And here is day #3 in Paris: Notre Dame with pictures.

You might have to scroll down to the bottom to start with day 1. The most recent post will come up first, and the oldest will come up last.

Days 6-8 we arrived to cold and wet weather in Wengen. But we made the most of our first 2 days by seeing Trummelbach Falls and the Ballenberg Open Air museum.
