Not ever being in the Alsace region of France, we didn’t know exactly where our stomping grounds should be.
And then we arrived in Strasbourg.
Everything I love about France was in Strasbourg, and I wished we had booked a few more days there.
There were french flea markets.
Navy found a few rings to disperse to loved ones when she got home.
There were french carousels. There is literally nothing more charming than a “token’ to get on one of the charming french carousels. I think Dash and Pippi took at least three rides each!
Honestly, Strasbourg was one of my very favorite stops during our trip…it was just…so FRENCH!
The french food is always so beautiful, and exciting to eat.
The top of my list, was the french shopping!
THE FRENCH SHOPPING!!!!!
Look at these two girls, eating a french ice cream cone, waiting outside of a french shop to finish it…while Nonnie and I shopped inside. I am not sure if there can ever be a more perfect picture taken! (With regards to “my happy place”.)
Micah, who knew that my one short day with french shops everywhere around us, took the kids to an amazing outdoor park. He said that they had an absolute blast. I was so glad to hear that, because Nonnie and I had an equally great time at Galleries LaFayette. I’d make that trade all day, every day! We met up for dinner, and hit up one of our favorite places of the whole trip — Sushi! Can you believe that we found amazing sushi in Strasbourg, France?! It was so good, we went back the next day before driving on!
Our early morn, to late evening French day was awesome. My kids were wiped…but they somehow knew I had my camera out as they were “sleeping”, and thus began a wrestling match before bed. At least between my two french boys. Maybe all of that shopping did them in!
Viva La France!
And Strasbourg — you haven’t seen the last of me.
