It’s his first trip to Europe.
It’s our first trip outside the US together, and first time away overnight together in 3 years. We’ve never left the children for a whole week before, so send thoughts and prayers. We know they’re in good hands.
We flew from XNA to Philadelphia, then Philly to Zurich. From Zurich we bought Swiss travel passes and boarded a Swiss (SBB) train to Basel, Switzerland. In Basel, we bought a train ticket to Strasbourg, France, where we are staying the night. The plan was to explore Freiburg, Germany, but we decided to go straight to France, instead.
We walked around the city admiring the beautiful architecture, ate pastries and gelato at every corner, toured the Strasbourg chapel of Notre Dame, ate Flambé at Mamma Bubbele’s. We also had a dessert assortment (best creme brûlée ever!) along the canal at sunset. We just checked in with the kids and now we super tired and ready to collapse!
Aaron’s first European pastry: a custard topped puff pastry with roasted apricots. Heavenly!

I loved the stained glass in notre dame! This one of the savior was a collage of several tiny faces. A unique way to testify through art the ways Jesus knows and loves each of us personally.
