The Blonshine Family: Trip to Europe

So, Tyler is quite the world traveler. We recently went on a trip to London and Paris with a quick stopover with Melinda's relatives in Canada. The plane ride was LONG but Tyler was quite a trooper. He was great for most of the flight but after about 4 hours, he was exhausted. He was so overstimulated with things to look at in the cabin, so it was off to the place where everyone goes to sleep...the bathroom. This was the only place where we could find no distractions and he would fall right asleep.

Our first stop in Europe was in Angmering, about an hour outside of London to stay with the “aunties”. We had a really nice time and the English countryside is really beautiful. We then took a train into London, where we caught “the Chunnel”(a high speed underground train) to Paris. This was a really nice way to travel because there was a lot of room for Tyler to crawl around and explore and the train was practically empty on the ride over. Mommy and daddy had champagne and Tyler enjoyed a French baguette - he loved it! Paris was really neat; we visited all the major spots, the Eiffel tower, the Jardins de Tulleries, Notre Dame and Sacre Coeur. We became quite the subway experts and Tyler entertained a number of people on their subway trips. After a few days, it was back on the Chunnel and back to London for a few days. We stayed by Big Ben, saw Buckingham Palace and Parliament. London is really neat. After a few nice days in London, it was time to head back home. We had another long flight, but this time we got to stop and see our relatives in Toronto. It was so much fun.
