Paris & P's 6th Birthday!

We just took our first holiday since moving - we spent a week in the Paris area with my family. Although Paris is only a 5 hour drive, we decided using public transportation would be more comfortable. We drove about 45 minutes to the Bellegarde station in France and took a high speed train to Paris. The kids were sooooo excited to ride on a train!

In preparing to move, we bought new convertible backpack/rolling bags for travel. We thought we would need the flexibility to carry our bags while pushing the twins in strollers and we were right! After arriving in Paris we took 2 different Metro lines to the Champs de Mar area where we were staying.

I used the website My Little Nomads to find hotel recommendations in Paris. Given there were 7 of us, I looked for an apartment to rent near the Eiffel Tower. I can say the Charles Floquet did not disappoint. It was awesome! Amazing views from the 7th floor penthouse suite and 4 bedrooms which was plenty of room for us all to have some space. A…

Denmark Trip Part 1: LEGO House in Billund

Both International and local schools all have a "Ski Week" break in February. It's literally called Ski Week! We decided to travel north and visit Denmark. We wanted to see Copenhagen and visit LEGO House in Billund. We were lucky to have Will's parents along for the trip. We left Geneva and flew to Copenhagen with no issues. We picked up our rental "van" (more like a bus!) and were off. Poor Rod had to play bus driver as he was the only one who could drive a stick shift.LEGOLAND HOTEL LEGO HouseDay 2 was spent at LEGO House. This is a new "experience house" that just opened in September 2017. It is 12,000 square meters filled with 25 million LEGO bricks to play with. It's located in downtown Billund and is an easy walk or drive from the LEGO Hotel. The first thing you see in LEGO House is the Tree of Creativity.

Chamonix & Grotte Mer de Glace (August 26, 2017)

With school just around the corner we wanted to take another day trip before things got too busy. The kid's school posted a recent excursion to Chamonix on their Instagram account and we couldn't wait to check it out. Chamonix, France is literally just across the lake from our house at the base of Mont Blanc, an easy 90 minute drive. After arriving we decided to have a picnic lunch in a shady spot outside the Mer de Glace train station.

We boarded the historic red train and headed for Montenvers. The train had a cog-wheel mechanism between the tracks to help get it up and down the mountain. The views were amazing, we'll have to come back when there's snow in the winter.

After you get off the train at Montenvers, there is a hotel, cafe and gift shop as well as several large observation decks. We headed straight for the Gondola which took you steeply down to the entry of the ice cave carved into the glacier.

Before you can enter the caves you have to go down 430 s…
