Gearing Up

We are loving the events that are taking place for the  day walk.  Concerts, fireworks, parades, marching bands, stands full of food, drinks, and souvenirs...what more can we ask for?    The walking route goes down our street on Friday but we'll be long gone by then so we'll miss cheering them along.

Tomorrow morning we are loading the car up for our big road trip of the summer.  We'll first be going to Belgium for a few days.  Then off to Paris for a week.  While Bill and I would love to go to Luxembourg, we are now going to play that by ear based upon how drained and wiped everyone is.  If we can swing it, we will but flexibility is the name of the game. 

We've had a great time trying to plan out everything that we want to see.  I'd be a lot less stressed out if I could actually obtain tickets for the Eiffel Tower!  Even though you can order them online, it seems that those allotted numbers are not available.   The kids are super excited and have been watching YouTube videos of the rides at Disneyland Paris!  Our must see agenda includes:
Disneyland, Eiffel Tower, Norte Dame, Jardin De Luxembourg, Arc de Triomphe, Lourve, Hotell Des Invalides, and possibly Versailles.   I'm sure we'll add other stops to our list along the way but these are the must sees taking all 4 opinions into account. 

Well off to go make lunch, pack up, and head out to enjoy the Walk event some more.  

Marrella Family -  Have fun in OCMD at Marrella-palooza and we can't wait to hear all of the stories!  Dad - no sleeping at FishTales this year!
