When my husband and I first started talking about having children, the first thing we discussed were things we both wanted before we felt like we'd be completely ready to plunge head first into the parenting years. The most obvious was graduating college and having those degrees. CHECK! Then came other things like time to grow, mature and just time to enjoy one another. We definitely aren't in any hurry, no fevers yet! We get our baby fixes with our very close family friends The Spencers, The Campers and The Houghs who supply us with ample baby playing time! We firmly believe these years we have together facing and devouring what the world has to offer will only build a stronger foundation for our family. Another big stepping stone we both wanted to see happen was a backpacking trip through Europe. We decided it wouldn't make sense taking a trip like that when we had wee ones at home, and when we would have way better things/people to put our money toward.
Being the adventuresome couple we are, finally took the step of booking that round trip flight out of Paris, France! From there the planning, reserving trains and hostels, and guidebook reading only made us more excited! Originally we wanted to spend 3 weeks in Europe, but given our current situation of being nearly homeless, unemployed college graduates, we decided 1.5 weeks was plenty. Our journey will take us to the DDay sites in France, Paris France, Zurich Switzerland, Rome Italy, and Venice Italy! We truly couldn't of planned this trip without the generous support from both our parents, and we will be forever grateful!
