Travels?

So I'm sure people are wondering when and where are they going to travel? Well, the second weekend I wanted to hop on a train and go to Paris. (I love Paris and can't wait to go back.) Then reality hit me in the face. The kids are exhausted from arriving in a new place, starting new schools, and moving to a new house. There was a birthday party to go to that was all Drew could talk about. For Mom and Dad there was shopping to be done to get us settled. So we stayed close to our new home and explored our new environs and met our new friends.

On Saturday Rick bought a car which was the last major item we needed to get done to feel settled ( of course our shipment still hasn't arrived but again we're not talking about that). It will still probably take weeks before Rick can drive the car home but at least the need for car shopping is done. So now we have turned our attention to where do we travel first.

Making sightseeing for three small children interesting is a bit challenging. Our first day exploring Antwerp did not go that great. This time we figured we go for castles. So our first big adventure (we think) will take us to Luxembourg. Neither Rick nor I have ever been there and we haven't decided if that is a good thing or bad thing. I've read that there are some good castles and varied landscapes so keep your fingers crossed for us. We plan to go the last weekend of September as Drew's school has a four day weekend.
