Rather than post chronologically, I thought maybe we'd take a look at the 2018 Harrington family combined European Vacation thematically. For the first installment, I submit to you the many ways we got from one place to another. The Bassington family portion of the trip started with a 3+ hour car ride from Ithaca to NYC, then a 7 hour flight, followed by a taxi ride to Paddington Station to catch a train to St. Ives.
Sarah and I did very little sleeping on the plane. Emmett, on the other hand, got a full 8 hours in, it seemed like.
Like everyone else, Emmett was curious about the airplane food.
Watching the sunrise over Ireland.
On the train to St. Ives! Whole family in tow.
This was probably everyone's favorite single day of travel. Under a bluebird sky, we rode the upper deck of a double deck bus from St; Ives to Lands End. The streets were so impossibly narrow...
Counting cows
Another bus, another activity from the bag.
While we didn't technically get a ride in this cherry, it was a favorite of many of us and so it gets to make an appearance here, plus, I missed one or two transports. This can be a stand in for a few buses, a couple trains, and a taxi, at least.
At Oma and Opa's house this tractor was a favorite. If you couldn't find Emmett right away, the sandbox was always a safe bet.
On the autobahn, doing like a thousand miles an hour.
Not technically a vehicle, but we all did a ton of walking. Emmett's stair skill markedly improved over the course of the trip.
My beautiful babies.
Cool architecture in the train station in... hard to say... maybe to or from Tubingen... did we take a train?
Old pro.
We even crammed in a boat ride in Hamburg.
Hamburg is an active port city, so there is lots to see.
Have another theme suggestion for the next post?
