We Are Going To Paris!!
All the details on our surprise summer trip.
The Background: I shared last week that we are going to Paris in July with our 3 daughters - to say I’m excited would be an understatement! I agonized for months last year about where to travel with our family this summer. After our big (pricey) trip to Croatia last summer I knew something similar wasn’t in the cards this year. I had my heart set on The Dolomites in Italy but just couldn’t pull the trigger on such an expensive trip again.
So I booked nothing, except family trip with my parents to Martha’s Vineyard in August. There’s something magical about going to a different country with young children, their excitement and wonder is contagious. It’s one of my favorite feelings. That nag kept pulling at me, I knew I had to figure out a way to make a trip happen this year.
I announced a few weeks ago that I’ve been working to become a travel advisor and am going to be specializing in mother/child trips - with Paris being my first destination. So naturally I’m eager to take my own kids again for some on the ground research. You can get on the launch list here!
Our Plan: I kept this trip very simple & straightforward. A direct flight. No rental cars. One apartment for the entire stay. A chance to really explore Paris like we haven’t before!
How I Did It: My goal was to keep this trip under $5k - not including costs once we are in Paris.
