My girlfriend and I have just officially booked a fall trip to Europe! After finding out that my dad, sister and stepmother would be moving to Paris so that my sister could pursue dance, we decided that we had to take advantage of a relative living in Europe! After constantly watching the rollercoaster that is airline fares, we finally jumped on a rate that looked good last night.
It will be Ashleigh's first ever trip and my fourth (2003, 2006, 2007). We are both very excited! Now that the flight is out of the way we can begin the much more fun process of deciding where to go, what to do and how to do it. Looking forward to the miles of walking, the meager breakfasts and delicious coffee!
To celebrate, I will post up a few of my favorite photos that I took during my other trips to Europe. Enjoy!
