We are back

We are back from our whirlwind trip to London and Paris. What an awesome trip. Traveling with 2 kids is not for the faint of heart. Despite a variety of hurdles, we survived and are back to tell the tale :).

From this trip I learned that London and Paris are not really small children friendly. How can you have a train station without an elevator, how do you expect me to get down the stairs with two kids in a double stroller, sheesh.

The wedding was awesome. My cousin looked amazing and her day was so perfect. We had a few hiccups but overall it was perfect.

I need to get through all the pictures (I took over 2,000) so that I can tell you all about our trip. In the meantime, here are a few highlights

We went to the Arsenal stadium because my hubby is a huge fan. I got my very own Arsenal jersey, I guess I am officially an Arsenal supporter

Me and my Tman in our matching shirt. Don't you love that it says 25 July the day I officially became a Mrs? We love to get coordinated things around here

In 2009, when they were redoing the Arsenal stadium, they were selling personalized brick stones to put in front of the stadium. Hubby's sister bought us a stone for Christmas and we finally got to see it. How cool is this

We saw a lot of hubby's family and friends while we were there. I am so happy that Jbird got to meet a lot of his English family

Then we hopped on a Eurostar train to Paris

We got to Paris and were busy with wedding stuff. My brother and cousins met with us in Paris for the wedding

We went to the Eiffel tower of course

Then it was wedding stuff. The wedding was absolutely beautiful despite the rain and the cold weather

My kids were such troopers, luckily for us they napped everywhere as needed. I am so glad I purchased my McClarren double stroller before I left. The big stroller would have been such a pain while this stroller was perfect and could fit through a normal doorwhile still allowing the kids to nap everywhere

It was such a beautiful trip. We experienced a few hurdles but it was all worth it in the end. We love to travel and we definitely want to take our kids along for the ride. Little hiccups will not stop us from going places, it will only teach us to be more prepared.  Can't wait to tell you all the stories in detail.
