Our family adventure has officially begun, and we couldn’t be more grateful to finally be here. The day started with an early ferry ride from Dover on Irish Ferries. The kids made the most of the onboard play area while Minions played on the screen, keeping them entertained and giving us a rare moment to pause and reflect.
Once we landed in France, the drive to the Parisian suburbs brought its own excitement. As we arrived at our Airbnb near Palaiseau, close to Lozère station, we were greeted by hills that offer a stunning vantage point over the area. The view is a perfect blend of city charm and peaceful greenery, making the long day of travel more than worth it.
Unpacking while the kids explored the space gave us a chance to breathe it all in. After so many months of planning, we’re finally doing it. This is the start of the adventure we’ve dreamed about, and being here feels like the greatest gift.
With the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre on the agenda for Wednesday, tomorrow is wide open—who knows what it will bring? But for tonight, we’re simply thankful for this moment, this view, and this journey we’re starting together.
