Paris, the Bernese Oberland, and Bavaria with 2 kids
 

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:

I'll be back tomorrow with the next day.

Nice to see pictures for a change!

Sounds like a delightful trip! Can't wait to see more pics!
Cheers...

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!

Thank you! Taking kid #1 to violin, but I'll post the rest of the pictures from Paris later this evening.

It looks like you planned a great trip! I'm looking forward to reading more.

Loved seeing the pictures! Your story is also interesting. am looking forward to more!

Here is the next day in Paris, including the Catacombs, Luxembourg gardens, the Church at Saint-Sulpice, and gelato!

There are lots of pictures, so take a look:

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.

Once again, you need to scroll to the bottom if you need to start from day 1.

Enjoying the pictures...

Lovely! Keep 'em coming!

Thanks! Next up... Chateau de Chantilly and driving a rental car around the Etoile at the Arc de Triomphe!

Your daughter is an incredible artist! I can't believe she is only 11, amazing!

Thanks Tracilee! Yes, she's only 11. She just loves to draw.

Our last day in Paris, we rented a car and drove to the Chateau de Chantily. Take a look at the details and some pictures here:

Next stop: the Bernese Oberland of Switzerland...

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.
