Greetings everyone, we've just returned from our first family trip to Europe. The last 11 days we had the opportunity to travel to Belgium, Paris and London with Katie's parents, brother and grandfather and had a wonderful trip.

Before the trip we were a little concerned about Lacy and how show would do on such a long trip overseas on the airplane. This was here third airplane ride though and she was wonderful. We were lucky in that we flew on an Airbus 330 which has tv's for every passenger. The TV's included several children's movies which Lacy loved. One the 9 hour trip over she probably slept for about 4 hours and watched movies for about 4 hours. During that time I don't think she cried once. And on the return trip it there were only a few tears, mainly because of being tired.

The trip was a blast and we got to see many places. Some of the highlights were climbing up towers of Notre Dame (466 steps) with Lacy, a boatride through the canals of Brugge, Belgium, Tours of the Ardenne Forest where Grandad Savage was captured on the Belgium/Germany border, a visit to the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, and St. Pauls Cathedral in London.

One of the the highlights for Lacy were the train rides and metro and tube rides. She loved these and was telling Baxter all about our adventure when we got home. The first thing she did when she woke up Monday morning in her own bed and saw Baxter for the first time was tell him, "Baxie, I rode on a airplane in the sky, in the clouds, and a train and a boat." So we know what she remembers the most.

This post is a little short and scrambled but I'll post some photos and some more descriptions later.
