We've used our base in France to do lots of traveling. It's addictive! Here are some of our adventures:
A trip to Amsterdam.
Canoeing on the Dordogne River.
A Belgian Waffle Tour.
A wintery visit to Cologne.
Three cheers for Barcelona!
The tulip fields in Holland.
We saw the final match of the French Open.
One of our favorite spots is Mont St. Michel.
I wonder where we'll wander next! To see more of our travels, click here.

I like knowing what new stuff is out there, even if I don’t run out and buy it right now.
those little brushes are so great! I love using corn syrup and powdered jello mixed together makes a really cool ‘medium’ on construction paper – just a bit sticky :0) but its great for little kids that put EVERYTHING (including art supplies) in their mouth.
