Iceland and France

Welp, it’s been a while (oops). It’s been a fun summer! At the end of May, we took an amazing trip to Iceland and France! We flew to LA and then Reykjavik, spent 8 days driving the Ring Road, then took the 2.5 hour flight to Paris.

Just…. Wow! The beauty, the food, the people, the adventures… this was definitely a trip to remember :)

Iceland has got to be one of the most beautiful places on the planet. It was so pristine, untouched, majestic, (expensive), and all-around awe-inspiring. We took mineral baths at the Blue Lagoon, snorkeled between the tectonic plates, saw more waterfalls than I even knew existed, explored the inside of a glacier, ate all the seafood and lamb, saw the puffins, toured lava tubes/caves, and generally had a blast.




France was the perfect addition to our trip! We spent 2 days in the alps (where my hot husband climbed the alpe d’huez), a day touring Normandy and seeing the historic sites, and a few days walking Paris! That meant all the sight-seeing, eating (macarons, chocolate, pastries, crepes… sigh), and shopping.




There’s nothing I love more than getting to explore the world, get a glimpse into these amazing cultures, talk to people who live such a different lifestyle than I’m used to, and be reminded of how beautiful the world is!
