Over the next two weeks, my family of 5 will be traveling to Europe. We will chronicle our travels on this blog with the intent to share any notable tips and tricks for families going abroad. We will blog about what's fun to do with children in these cities ranging in age from 10 to 17. Our itinerary includes Amsterdam (where we lived 15 years ago), Paris and London. We planned this vacation as sort of a rite of passage, primarily for our 17 year old daughter who is a senior in high school this year. We have a 13 year old and a 10 year old, and recognize that our time with each child is fleeting. The days where they were purely and soley dependant on me as a parent is coming to a screeching halt, it seems. So our vacations become even more important to us as they have a way of creating incredible memories and strenghtening our bonds.
Stay tuned as this blog follows us on our travels to Europe, December 21, 2008 through January 2, 2009. We'll be bringing in the new year from Paris, France! Meanwhile - keep an eye out on other fun reading from my blogging partner. Where will you be this holiday season?
Have a great trip and I'll check back often to see what's happening with you!
