When we landed in Paris to start our two-week tour of Europe in 2004, we were jetlagged, but excited. Our first night was already booked in Colmar, at the border of Germany and across the French countryside, so we turned down the offered Mercedes upgrade with GPS and drove off in our rented Opel sedan.
By the time we arrived at our darling room in Colmar, a Disney-esque town with half-timbered houses along cobblestone roads, we were so exhausted we crashed into our room and slept for I don’t know how long.
The kids thought for sure they had landed in heaven, since the room had bunkbeds.
The next day we enjoyed the first of many picnics with food gathered from a grocery store. This is how we ate through most of our trip.
And of course, we found a lovely playground in Colmar – setting the stage for the way we’d approach European travel with two young kids.
