In reply to Julia. Response from a Parisian : you can spend the day in Deauville/Trouville for instance. There is trains from Paris to Deauville and back. But it might be a little stressful. I therefore would advise you to take 2 days to enjoy this better. As a reference, it's a common weekend gateway for Parisians ;-)

Your vacation looks awesome! I can totally relate to taking your kids to a place that is familiar I felt that way the first time we went to Europe as well. My husband and I have taken our kids to Europe twice and I have yet to go to a place that we don’t feel safe. Our favorite European city is Prague. It has beautiful architecture, good weather, fairly well priced, and easy to navigate. We spent three weeks with them in Italy going from Milan to Venice (we parked the car) to Rome and then to Sienna and Florence then Pisa and a small town called Noli about an hour west of Genoa with a rental car and hated driving there so if you go there I do not recommend driving it is very stressful. There was one area of Tuscany that wasn’t stressful to drive but I don’t remember the name. We didn’t have this stress while driving in Slovenia or Germany. I felt like driving in the Black Forest area of Germany and the eastern side of France was pretty easy going. We have also been to Salzburg, Austria, Oslo, Copenhagen, and Nuremberg. We didn’t do any driving there but enjoyed all of them. My husband and I went to Marrakech, Morocco and loved it there and would like to take our kids. Marrakech has a totally different atmosphere than what we are used to. There were times it felt overwhelming but its such a special place and the food and shopping is very good but I highly recommend researching before going there so you can understand what you’re in for when visiting. I would recommend all the places we’ve been but would warn that Oslo is EXPENSIVE.

Love these photos! Did you guys leave Brem home? Stefanie from BrooklynLimestone.com was well traveled before kids, and takes her youngsters on great trips abroad now. My husband is hesitant with our preschoolers and I keep sending him her recent vacation links like – Look! they make London look easy! Look! They did South Korea no problem! Lots of inspiration there…

In reply to kathy. Buy a SIM card at the airport! It’s the best way. USA cell providers will charge you an arm and a leg. Take it from someone that lived in Europe and travel extensively around the world.
