So we did it! We booked our much-anticipated next trip abroad and this time we are off to France.

Marcus and I have traveled out of the country before and we always said that before we make our way down the road to baby #2, we would like to take off again.

And take off we will this upcoming October for eight glorious days. Our plan is to fly into Paris and spend a few days doing touristy stuff then head south to set up a home base in Avignon. From there we will rent a car and make day trips to surrounding Provencal towns. Sipping lots of amazing wine and feasting on bread and cheese alone along the way. We will end our trip on the rocky beaches of Nice before heading home to kiss our little guy a thousand times because we missed him like crazy.

Have you ever traveled to France? Any suggestions on things we shouldn’t miss?
