Last week I posted pictures of #Provence from our Last week I posted pictures of #Provence from our June 14th drive to #Rousillion promising to share pictures of the town, so here they are. Beyond being another neat #HillTown the magnificent red #cliffs and #ochre quarries make a bold pop in the lush green pine surroundings and a gorgeous blue sky.  The colors and views in town and on the drive there are not to be missed! @frenchprovenceguide @visitsouthoffrance @francetourisme #Europe23 #SummerVacation #SeeTheWorld #GetOffTheMainRoads #ExploreTheCountry #France #RoadTrips #TravelingWithKids
Today’s mid-week calm distraction is brought to Today’s mid-week calm distraction is brought to you by #Provence  I was smelling my lavender sachets last night and decided my next batch of photos to get out from #Summer23 (there are still a lot) had to be something from this area.  These are from a drive we did the evening of June 14 going from our place in #StRémy to dinner and exploring the #HillTown  of #Rousillion (which will have its own separate post.) We just loved the beautiful #lavender fields and wine #vineyards and the gorgeous hilly vistas all around in this whole area. Definitely a favorite area from the trip! @francetourisme @visitsouthoffrance @visitsouthoffrance

Lots of exhaustion and mixed emotion on the last n Lots of exhaustion and mixed emotion on the last night of our #Europe23 #adventure  We are exhausted and grateful and so much else. Decided to keep it easy and finish packing (mostly) than walk over to our neighborhood park (aka #EiffelTower ) and play a bit of #Petanque / #Boules in this gorgeous weather we might miss most of all!  #nousadoramos #Paris #France #EuropeanUnion #BeautifulDay #TourEiffel lots more pics to post once we ever get some sleep!
Watching the last laps of the #TourDeFrance in #Pa Watching the last laps of the #TourDeFrance in #Paris near the #TuleriesGardens just past the #Louvre was truly one of our neatest moments.  We didn’t plan our schedule for this and weren’t really sure how to best do it but it worked out like a dream.  We had a lovely restaurant table with good drinks and bathrooms. We watched a wide-screen tv and had great drinks, and could still run outside for videos like this, of one of the #EIGHTlaps the #cyclists rode past us. Friendly people, new friends, great food and drinks, and all the excitement!!! Another of many days where we fall further in love with #Paris #France #JaiTaime 💙 🤍 ❤️ 🇫🇷 🥂 #Europe23 #FamilyTravel #Memories #ExperiencesOfALifetime #LivingLife #LearningLife #lovingLife #AnytimeEverytime
After getting stuck by the route twice on Friday a After getting stuck by the route twice on Friday and adding 2 hours to our long drive from Switzerland, we are now ready to have a little #TourDeFrance fun in #Paris #France Bring on the #cyclists  we think they’re still an hour or so away but we’ve got a table and drinks so we’re set. Mardi Gras has prepared us well for working these crowds!  #Bike #race #Europe23 #MakingMemories
Had some fun #driving the #German #Autobahn today Had some fun #driving the #German #Autobahn today with #NoSpeedLimit . Without much #traffic, even higher speeds felt much safer than some of our drives in other countries on this trip.  We got our little van up to 150kph (approximately 95mph) and there were still a few other cars that flew past us.  #Driving #RoadTrips #WearYourSeatbelts #Europe23 #Germany #GarmischPartenkirchen

I don’t even know how to capture the wonder of # I don’t even know how to capture the wonder of #SwarovskiKristallWelten (#SwarovskiCrystalWorlds ) just outside #innsbruck #Austria but it was so much more than we even imagined. 
  On the website they explain in the #ChambersOfWonder #internationally and nationally recognized artists, designers, and architects have interpreted crystal in their own unique ways. They create concepts of space and experience from sparkling material.” We got snowed on, stood near the sun, enjoyed crystal masterpieces, stepped inside and on top of crystal, listened to its sound, and were taken through emotions from grief to love via crystals. It’s a must do if in the area! (And I can do a whole separate post on the grounds outside!) Truly one of the best immersive experiences with art we’ve ever had! #kristallwelten #ArtWithKids #ExperienceArt #Crystals #Sparkle #Swarovski #FamilyTravel #Europe23 #SayYesToItAll #AnytimeAnyplace #MakingMemories #Spark #Creativity #Imagination

Saturday, July 8th was a more somber day. After se Saturday, July 8th was a more somber day. After seeing a bit of Nürnberg, we took the kids to #Dachau  We did not have them watch the video, nor delve too deeply into specifics of the atrocities that occurred here, but felt it was important for them to have the experience appropriate for their ages and maturity levels. We discussed a lot all day. They respected the opportunity and appreciated the importance of learning history so it must not be repeated.  #NeverAgain @dachaumemorial #TravelIsEducation #ExperienceLife #Learn #Remember #Honor #Respect #WeAreAllConnected #LearnFromHistory
Thursday, July 6th, we spent the afternoon in #Ces Thursday, July 6th, we spent the afternoon in #CeskyKrumlov to give the kids a taste of #Czechia (formerly known as #CzechRepublic ). What a gorgeous town!  We are so glad we went but definitely will need to go back!  If/when we get back to Europe, we really want to spend more time seeing #EasternEurope all around, as we felt the same in Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, and Croatia! A truly beautiful area - though beware, not everyone is on the Euro yet, so be ready to go to the ATM, as some places still only accept cash. The kids were super impressed when we took out a 2,000 Koruna bill though (currently about $92 USD or €84 Euro). @ceskykrumlovofficial @visitcz #Europe23 #FamilyAdventure #TravelingWithKids #ShowThemTheWorld #LearningOnTheRoad #RoadTripsWithKids
On thé afternoon of June 27th, after a long morni On thé afternoon of June 27th, after a long morning battling crowds in more of the touristy spots, I took a walk for a couple of hours on my own to #wander and #GetLostInVenice enjoying some of the quieter sights off the main paths and got to fall in love with the city.  #venice reminded us a lot of #NewOrleans in that there were spots that were too touristy or kinda sticky, etc. And then there were so many small details with color and life that bring an easy joy. These were some of my very favorite pictures! #Italy #Canals #Waterways #BackRoads #Wander #GetLost #Explore #FindYourself
