  • Wengen

    June 30, 2024 in Switzerland ⋅ ☁️ 52 °F

    Today we took a gondola to the mountain on the other side to Wengen. We’ve unfortunately had really cloudy weather while we’ve been here but we had a slight clearing of clouds to see glimpses of the Alps. After we walked 40 min through Wengen to an overlook sight and did a bit of hiking. After two days of 20k steps our feet are tired!Read more

    We took a 45 minute train ride outside of the city today for a day trip in the Champagne region. This city is filled with history and gorgeous cathedrals. We even saw archeologists digging up remains in the middle of the street. This city dates back to the Roman Empire in the 400s.Read more

  • Last day!

    July 3, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F

    Spent my last day of my three week euro vacation doing my favorite things in Paris. We woke up and visited Sainte Chappell which is a stunning chapel with a room full of stained glass. This is probably my favorite spot in all of Paris. Then we walked to the famous Cafe de Flor for one last Parisian meal. Followed by the Eiffel Tower! Paris is ready for the 2024 Olympics. We ended the day by ordering in take out and making charm necklaces full of items to remember our trip.Read more
