Lessons Learned and Favorites from Europe

Lessons Learned:
- Take more time to enjoy meals. They are an opportune time for relaxation and conversation. As an added benefit, you tend to eat less. :)
- Walk more, sit less.
- Never pass up the chance for a stroll with an ice cream cone.
- Put away the cell phone; you'll experience more and be liberated from technology.
- In time, we can figure out any public transportation.
- While our family may stress over some tiny things, when it comes to big problems, we have it covered.
- Don't multitask the big things.
- The worst part of this trip is that we can't go home and tell our granddad about all our adventures. He always loved to hear of our travels.
