Farmer John is a farmer at heart and home, but his day job is a 9-5. He had meetings in Germany for a week. The stars aligned and the kids & I were able to go with him. We book ended Germany with short stays in Italy and France.

DIY Notre Dame Chimera Trio
NOTRE DAME I love Notre Dame. It is breathtaking inside and out. In 2002, Farmer John & I quickly admired the main level. It was amazing and when we brought the kids to Paris in 2015 it was a place I definitely wanted them to see. Plus, let’s be honest, I wanted to see it again. This time we climbed the stairs to the

Imagination has no age. And dreams are forever.” I’m not actually sure Walt Disney said this quote, however the internet thinks he did. Either way, I enjoy the phrase.
