Evie's European Vacation


We had the best time in Europe with my family these last couple of weeks (thanks so much, Mom and Dad!!). We went over for a Mediterranean cruise, but since it began in Barcelona, we went a few days early to experience that city. Evie was a traveling champ, doing great not only on the very long flights there and back, but being out and about all day long. She adjusted to weird milk in different countries without a problem, and she absolutely loved the food! She did great with the time change--her only problem was that the first two nights we were there, she wanted to play for about three hours in the middle of the night. But, she had so much fun and was generally happy the whole time. I'm worried she's going to be so bored at home now!

Warning: lots of photos!
