Back From Europe

Hey All,

Decided I hadn't posted anything in forever so I had better jump on the band wagon. Unfortunately I don't have any cute baby pictures to post (sorry mom) so I would have to update everyone on our vacation to Europe. JJ and I left on February 12th and came home on the 24th. We had an amazing time and got to see so much. Unbelievably the weather was beautiful and not too cold. We got very lucky!

We flew into London stayed there for a day and a half. We then took a train to Liverpool. JJ was very excited about this stop due to being a huge Beattles fan. Liverpool was a great city and we really enjoyed ourselves as well and all of the Beattles history. We were there one night and the following day and then the following evening we flew to Amsterdam, Netherlands. We spent two night and one full day. Wow what a crazy city. We also spent a day traveling around to all of the spots our family used to spend time in when we lived there. I really enjoyed strolling down memory lane and having the opportunity to share all of that with JJ. We then drove to Brugge, Belgium. What a beautiful town. One night we stayed in a B&B and the next night in a Castle...so fun to feel like royalty. From there we drove to Brussels, Belgium and had enough time to check out the beautiful St. Michael Cathedral before having to catch our train to Paris. I was a little leary for France given the world standings but was surprised with our well we were treated. We spent 2 full days checking out the sites and an additional day doing a day trip to Normandy (D-day beaches). Wow what an amazing thing to see. So moving and unbelieveable. They have built a beautiful visitor center there as well as the American Cemetary. Really puts everything in perspective and thankful for all of our armed forces. Lastly we took the chunnel back to London and spent another day there before catching our flight home.

I am currently putting together a scrapbook and JJ has created a DVD of our pictures with music, subtitles etc. We will plan to bring both with us to the cabin this summer for those of you who are interested. Until then I have attached a couple of pictures we thought you might enjoy.

We hope everyone is well. Keep pictures of all of those beautiful great grand children coming!

All my love,

Kelli xoxoxox
