Castles and Kings

We walked in the front door at 9am and have been unpacking, washing, grazing and napping. Unpacking the suitcases always generates conversations about the trip and gives some closure and debrief time. We looked at the map and it turns our neither Josh nor Flynn new we went underwater on the Eurostar. Geography obviously not a strong point! I always forget what we purchased along the way and was surprised to discover that we are the proud owners of Buckingham palace and Eiffel Tower Christmas ornaments. This was a wonderful trip - the perfect mix of history, culture and adventure. I'm suppressing the urge to plan another trip as I'm not sure if the boys will still want to travel as a family in another few years. We will see....Ireland looks pretty fun, or Turkey, or Austria.....
