Our Family Adventures in Paris & Provence

We had the incredible opportunity to spend three weeks in France this summer with my husband’s family. Ah-mazing is an understatement. We were there so long that I forgot what day is was. Do you know how long it’s been since that happened? Maybe never. Ok maybe when my kids were newborns but the point is, it has been a really long time since we’ve been that unscheduled and it was so welcome.

We stayed in Paris for one week and spent the second two weeks exploring Provence. I took five million pictures and yes, I’m still culling and editing them.

I wanted to document everything – the sights, the tastes, the scenery, the culture and most importantly, my family experiencing it all. Who knows if or when we will get to go back; I didn’t want to miss a moment. And who knows when I’ll have this whole set of images completed. In the meantime, here a few current favorites from our family adventures in Paris and Provence. Most of these were taken with my professional camera but there are a few iPhone pictures too. Please visit my Instagram feed for more iPhone images from France. I over posted but I adore having so many unique travel memories for my family albums.
