Europe Adventure

We went on a 11 day vacation to Europe in May. Some good friends got married in Northern Italy and we traveled around after the wedding. We had a great trip, despite the rainy weather. It was hard to be away from Miller that long. Jud's Mom came down for the first five days and Lindsey's parents kept him for the last six. He was so good while we were gone.

Italy
Lake Maggiore-Verbania

This is the view from our hotel in Verbania - breathtaking.

Here is part of the group that was in town for the wedding eating pizza at a local pizzeria. From the left: Bryan & Carrie Storms, Esther Cowan, Ricky Paradise and his sister Cody, and Lindsey.

Here we are at the wedding reception. It was such an amazing place for a wedding. Too bad it rained, but "plan B" was still beautiful.

Here are all the TCU Frogs that attended along with the bride and groom (Amabel and Andrew Luers). From Left: Chris Hlavacek, Ricky Paradise, Lindsey, Jud, Andrew & Amabel Luers, Bryan Storms and Ben Cowan.

Milan

This is the stunning Duomo in Milan. It's the third largest church in the world.

Lindsey on top of the Duomo.

Munich, Germany

Ricky and Cody traveled with us to Munich. Here are Jud and Ricky acting like the dancers on the Glockenspiel which is behind them.

We took a bike tour through the city of Munich. It didn't rain much that day, but boy was it cold.

Lucerne, Switzerland

This is the oldest covered bridge.

Here we are in a gondola headed up a mountain. Once we go up there we were in the middle of a cloud/fog and could only see about 20 feet in front of us. Our plan was to hike down the bottom half, but it was just too dang cold and foggy.

Paris, France

Lindsey at Notre Dame in front of the flying buttresses.

In front of the Eiffel Tower at night. We went to the first level and watched the sun set and then went to the top and saw the city at night.

We to the palace at Versailles and here we are in the gardens. It was so beautiful and we almost got out of there before the rain started.
