Bubba & Bubbalou: September 2012

Well our Europe story starts with my sister Emily & her family moving to France for her husbands schooling. Then a cheap flight found late one night. Since it was so late in France we decided lets just book it! (Even with out telling Emily)We booked it, and my excitement became to extreme to not call her at 3 am her time. So we called, she thought someone had died- but instead it was US telling her we were coming to visit!

The next couple months consisted of a lot of Skype timing, and a lot of Emily planning. She planned EVERYTHING, and booked EVERYTHING. It was sooo awesome.

668 later, we were dying- and finally at the top.

Inside the BUBBLE

Emily gave us the opportunity to be able to sleep in a BUBBLE- it was possibly the COOLEST thing in the WORLD. We loved every minute of it. During the day it was SOOO HOT, and at night it was SOOO COOL! We looked at the stars, and enjoyed the night sky. It was such a cool experience.

In the bubble

Emily had set it up so we went GLAMPING for just about the entire time we were traveling. If you are going to Europe, i HIGHLY recommend 1. sleeping in a bubble 2. GO glamping

Glamping: Glorified Camping

And it truly was glorified, it was staying in a little house. WAY cooler & better then ANY hotel. It was like being on a resort, filled with more little homes, spots to actually camp, and spots to put your RV. Such a genius idea! Families from all around there take there vacation time, and go glamping. The little homes have everything, a kitchen with all your dishes & cooking needs. We would just go grocery shopping & buy supplies- then go home to cook it. A great money saver.

Kyle loved the water parks

Liam also loved it

The traveling crew

My Sexy Husband, in front of the NO SHORTS sign

One of the best parts about our travels was... that Kyle WAS REQUIRED to wear a speedo or European cut speedo. Clearly he chose the European cut. For some reason all the men are required to wear this type of swim suit, if they're swimming in a public pool/water park/etc. The only place you can wear a men's swim suit is at the beach- and even then, they'll look at you like you're crazy.

Liam loved the rocks at the beach in It

Gelato- DELISH.

Spain

We truly had SUCH an amazing trip, thanks to EMILY! We had so much fun. It was so exciting being able to see Paris, tour the south of France, a piece of Italy to eat some pasta (which was DEVINE by the way), and Spain. I can't wait to go back and explore the next country.
