In 2020, we were planning on taking K to Europe. We were going to spend 4-5 weeks abroad and hit as much as we could. Then, well……… we all remember what happened in 2020.

Fast forward to now. We are FINALLY going to take her to Europe……for 6 weeks. We are still cramming in as much as possible while still trying to make it memorable. The plan is to hit 14 different countries in that time. Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, Luxembourg, England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. (No, we aren’t doing any Italy. That will have to be it’s own trip entirely.) Some countries we are going to multiple cities and some countries we are only going for a day. Most cities we are only spending a day to a day and half there. So, when I say a “Taste of Europe”, I mean just a sample of what Europe has to offer; give her an idea of what else is out there and see where she may want to go back and spend more time.

In the meantime, I am trying to wrap up the school year, which includes packing everything up due to construction over the summer. K will be going to DC for a week (without us) for her 8th grade trip. She will also have her promotion from 8th grade (and I have to process that I will now have a high schooler). We also have a wedding we get to attend.

Here’s to a very active summer! (Below is the general map of our trip)
