The Best of the Best - 2010

 Our love for travel has only blossomed since we moved to Switzerland.  

We are now in the center of Europe, capable of hopping on cheap flights, taking incredibly scenic trains and with all of that at our fingertips, it seems, well, a shame not to get out there.  

So this past year, 2010, marked a year of epic travel for our family.  

We braved the cold and snow in the Alps, we ventured to new places, treaded through big cities and small towns, all the while, growing  fonder of travel and exploring.  

By the end of the year,  we collected beautiful memories, shared wonderful experiences and felt somehow richer for each new opportunity (we still feel incredibly blessed to have this experience).  

So, periodically on our blog, we will feature the Best of the Best 2010, which will profile what we considered the greatest of our travel journeys.  

 Paris - A Beautiful Surprise!

We had put this trip on hold one too many times, and as the winter days seemed to progress longer than anticipated, we knew it was time.  

Time to hop on that high - speed train, and make our way to Paris.

We had heard oh so many things about Paris and to be quite honest, many of the reviews were less than favorable, but what we found was a fabulous city, rich in history, exquisite architecture and incredible art.

We walked the streets each day with Noah strapped to our backs and kept thinking, "Wow, is a great city." 

So, our 2010 pick for the Best Surprise was Paris, despite what we heard, it was a wonderful little treasure!
