We are now on our first full day in Zurich, and the temperature is almost 100 degrees. We had to change our plans and chose to stay indoors as much as possible, only venturing out in the evening to take in this beautiful city.

And now the trip truly begins. After four stressful nights in Dublin, we boarded a plane this morning to Zurich to really kickstart our vacation.

It wasn’t the smoothest time in Dublin but we made it through and came out of the other side all doing great. It won’t be a week we forget anytime soon.

Our time in Venice is coming to an end, but that didn’t stop Elle from loving every second on the boat and endlessly chasing after pigeons throughout Venice.

Following a long day of travel, we hit the ground running in Venice, Italy. With many miles walked and gelato consumed, it was a great first day of the trip.

After delays on both of our flights we finally made it to Venice Italy for the start of our 2026 European vacation.
