Our first day in Paris

By -


Now that we are in Paris i notice that Paris is very different from the USA. I'm so used to everybody speaking english and other things. Yesterday we had our plane flight take off and thankfully it wasn't delayed! We went to the airport at about 5:30 pm and then we first had to return our rentals car.then we went though the whole security thing and bag check. After that we found somewhere to eat and wait for our plane. We just played on our electronics and FaceTimed cara and nathen our friends. 

 After a few hours we got on the plane and got situated. We were very sleepy😴. Elyse👩🏾 and my dad👱🏼 sat on one row and my mom👩🏾brynn👧🏼and I sat on another row. I did not sleep through the whole plane ✈️ ride, but I took about an hour to 45 minutes naps along the way. At about 10:00 (because of the time change), and we had a sandwich a cookie 🍪 some apple Juice 🍏 and that's it.

 I was so excited when landed 🛬 and I even located where we were. When we landed we got off and got in line for them to see our passports! Then after that, We took a taxicab to our apartment we were staying in and the guy showed us around.



Then he left and we left too and walked to a market to get some fruits, we got cherries and appercotts (I think I spelled that wrong). Then we wanted some ice cream and macarons but we Could not find a place that had both. after walking 🚶 for a long time we finally found a place that had both ice cream 🍦 and macaroons!! It was so good... then we walked to another sit down place and we got some chicken 🍗 on a stick and some shrimp 🍤. That was also super yummy 😋. Sorry this is long but I just wanted to give you the details.




After we went to the restaurant, we walked around for awhile and it actually felt like you were walking 🚶 in New York 🗽. Then Maybe after an hour, we found another restaurant and my mom 👩🏾 and dad👱🏼got drinks 🍹 and we played cards and did that for awhile. 
Then we went to subway and got some food because we were still hungry 😋. Then we ate the food back in our apartment!  Tomorrow we may go to the Eiffel Tower 🗼!! So excited 😆!!! I miss you 😘!

In 2017, our family of five (3 kids ages 9, 8 and 6 at the time) embarked on a global adventure for one year. My husband and I decided to home school our children and take them on a journey of world exploration -- exposing them to various cultures, people, food, religions and everything else in between. Grateful for this privilege and our amazing experience. Exploring Venice, Italy on the waterways Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.  -- Mark Twain I had planned the first three months of our trip to Europe when we were still in the States, hitting the countries of France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Croatia.

Day 1: We arrive in New York! Wow, are we so tired. We just came off a plane flight from Denver and had to wake up at 4:30 to make the shuttle ride to the airport. It is 10:00 AM right now because of time change so we are going to get some lunch because we are SO hungry (and tired).  So we check into our hotel room which is barely big enough to fit us and take a quick shower. Then we go exploring! We walk to a restaurant that my mom had planned before, which happened to be about 45 minutes away, but New York is fun to explore so we of course just walk.  My mom told us along the walk that we were going to this restaurant called “Stardust.” So apparently, people that are good actors and singers that wanted to get a job on Broadway come to this place to be waiters. They sing songs, they also have lots of entertainment, and awesome milkshakes. We ordered and then watched all the waiters sing. It was incredible! They even had confetti! The down side, we had to wait for abou...
