We loved the Fat Tire Bike Tour in Paris so much that we jumped at the chance to use the same tour company in Barcelona. Quite a bit colder (about 48 deg) and thus a much smaller tour group of just 6 (a very nice family from Perth, Australia joined Continue Reading

Barcelona Orientation
We left Minneapolis at 3:15pm on Wednesday January 16th and arrived in Barcelona on Thursday at noon after a 3 hour layover in Amsterdam. No issues with our travels, other than very limited sleep on the plane. We easily navigated the Barcelona airport and found our Uber driver for a Continue Reading
Not quite ready for Barcelona
Less than 24 hours until Matt and I get on a plane for Barcelona. We aren’t packed yet, but we did manage to find our passports. What more do we need?!
Bonus Post – Charlie Napping Collage
Charlie was a champ and could nap just about anywhere the stroller went or Mommy was. It remind us of Dr. Seuss. Can Charlie sleep on a plane, on a train, on a bus, on a boat, on a funicular, on a bike? Yep! Enjoy.
Day 10 – PARIS Part Deux
Today we went on the “Tour de Paris”. We scheduled a bike riding tour, but didn’t really research how long it would be or where it was going. As it turned out, it was a very comprehensive tour around the sights in the center of Paris and lasted 3.5 hours. Continue Reading
Day 9 – PARIS- Happy Birthday Charles!
Today’s trip to Paris started like most of our train travel, where our train car was on the train, but off limits. So we needed to go find another place to “squat” on the train. Luckily we found 5 seats relatively close together and only one of them were claimed Continue Reading
Day 7/8 – Normandy
After lunch on Sunday, we had time to do one activity in Normandy before dinner, so we decided to go to the Airborne museum which was a tribute to the paratroopers that landed on D-Day. This was a very engaging museum that was technologically advanced as well. Each visitor received Continue Reading
Day 6/7- Mont St Michel
The Mont St. Michel Monastary/Castle is truly amazing! We began our pilgrimage Saturday morning when we traveled from Lorient to Mont St. Michel in the 9 person van. We stopped on the way at Buffalo Grill, which is the French take on the wild west culture. As you approach Continue Reading
Day 5- Ile de Groix and Interceltique Festival
It was a beautiful morning in Lorient and the lack of bugs made sleeping with the windows wide open, without even having screens, excellent sleeping weather. You could hear the ocean birds in the distance as our wake up call. Today was another adventure. We met the Caucutts at their Continue Reading
Day 4- Travel Day to Bretagne
Early riser Charlie was the alarm for the family and woke us all up at 6:20. We were out the door by 6:45 to make our 7:20 train from Zurich to Paris. We are getting pretty good at lugging our luggage from place to place! It was a 4 hour Continue Reading
