    Family Europe: London to Florence in 13 Days

    Welcome to Our European Adventure!

    13 Days. 4 Countries. Countless Unforgettable Memories.

    From the historic streets of London and the romantic heart of Paris, to the towering peaks of the Swiss Alps and the sun-drenched Italian Riviera—this was truly the trip of a lifetime. We rode the Tube, zipped under the English Channel, watched a medieval castle being built from scratch, and even learned how to cook like true Florentines.

    This site is our digital scrapbook, and we are so excited to share it with you.

    Our adventure together begins in the great city of London. We'll meet at 3 p.m. for a brief "Welcome to Europe" meeting at our hotel. After a neighborhood orientation walk, we'll learn to use London's underground transportation system and hop on the Tube. Mind the Gap! This evening, we'll have fun getting to know one another over dinner in an atmospheric pub. Then we'll climb aboard a vintage double-decker bus for a panoramic tour through the heart of the city.
