Back from a dizzying week of travel through Europe. Paris is amazing, the Eiffel Tower is so impressive in person and the Montmartre neighborhood is super cool. There's something so pleasing to the eye about a city where most of the buildings are the same height.
The sights in Rome were fantastic but there were so many people in the city, it was tough to walk around. The food was incredible! Sicily and the Valley of the Temples at golden hour impressed. The outdoor market in Palermo was a great experience. Highly recommend.
And we loved Amsterdam. The canals, tulips, windmills and stroopwaffels were great. And it made so much sense that Amsterdam has a supermarket in the airport - so smart! So many bicyclists but hardly any helmets. Love the tap on/ tap off of the trams.
We squeezed every ounce out of each city we visited, ate all of the local food, tried to speak the languages and tried to show our boys what each place was like so that they could come back and visit when they're older.- Pics or..._niko
- I was sceptical when you mentioned how long you would be spending in each city. But if your goal was to do it for the churren and give them the poo-poo platter.palimpsest

- What ages on the kids? I plan to do something similar with mine, but the youngest needs a few years (2)robotinc
- @canoe - not sure. We viewed from the Trocadero, so we weren't that close.
@robotinc 13 and 11stoplying - Where would you go back? Rome can be overwhelming at the wrong time of the year, like the Vatican was too packed.canoe
