A Great Trip!

Okay, I am a little late posting about our trip but since we have been home I have been spending every minute with my boys and trying to catch up. We did have a great time though. We started off in Antwerp ( a little town near Brussels). It is a super cute town with very nice people, a lot of which spoke English pretty well. That helped. We got there on Sunday morning and spent the day walking around the quaint town. Monday and Tuesday Cody and the other two men traveling with us had to go to a bakery for work. SO the other two wives and myself had late, long breakfasts and strolled through town. Very relaxing but it gave me a lot of time to miss my boys. I have not had that much down time in, oh about 7 years. =) On Tuesday afternoon we took a two hour train ride to Paris. It is a much busier town than I ever imagined. Lots more tourists than I ever imagined and much smaller, stronger cups of coffee than I ever imagined. =) Still it was such an amazing place. We took an open tour bus and hit all the main spots...The Eiffel Tower, The Louvre Museum, The Arch of Triumph and Notre Dame Cathedral. We had great food and spectacular desserts. It was so nice to sit on the outside of the cafes and people watch. We really had just two and a half days there but we felt like we saw the big things we went to see. I so enjoyed my time away with my hubby too. But we were both so ready to get home to our three little men. They had been having a fun week with Mammy and Papa and Omi and Opi but were missing us too. When we landed in Dallas, American Airlines cancelled our flight to San Antonio and we were going to have to wait until the next morning. Cody and I were so anxious to get home that we went from that airport to another one and paid for a flight home from there. It was so worth it!! Seeing those three sweet, smiling faces at the airport was priceless. Our Carter had this amazed smile like he was saying, they did come back. Poor baby, Cody and I were so sad thinking about what must have been going on in his little mind. Having the five of us back together made the world right again. I have to say, I was very lost without my boys.

I can only attach a few of the many pictures I took. Some of them have Woody from Toy Story in them. We took him a long and he traveled Europe so we could show our boys. They loved it!
