    I love how Daniel just absorbs all the information and history of the places he enjoys! I bet he never dreamed he would end up seeing the world when he was in the orphanage all those years!

    Not directly related to this video per se, but Esther is growing into such a delightful young lady. She is always cheerful and smiling (on camera at least), she's so patient, caring and helpful with the younger children and as if that isn't enough, she is beautiful too. You must be so proud of her.

    Daniel is always such a wealth of knowledge about EVERYTHING. He seems to have such a zest for knowing 'all the things.' I love it! Thanks for sharing!

    My youngest daughter has autism, she loves watching your videos. Megan is her favourite and she thinks she needs more screen time, hehe. She thinks you are wonderful parents because you keep the kids safe from danger and sadness 💜

    Your videos are some of my favorites. I think it's awesome that you try and emerge yourselves in the local culture. The vlogs are beautiful. This is the kind of thing I hope to do in two years when I get out of high school. You're vlogs are such an inspiration.

    What a wonderful surprise to see you visited this castle! My husband and I took a trip there when we were anxiously awaiting our first "phone call" and needed something else to look forward to in our days. Three months after our return we welcomed our daughter...and then a son...and then twins! Thanks for bringing back the memory of a time when we longed for the family we are now blessed to have! Take Care!

    Is it weird that I am simultaneously SO excited for your future adventures and explorations but I don't want you to leave France either?! It will be so great watching you guys experience Ireland, it is truly magnificent and beautiful (and you must eat all of the scones with jam and cream!) I really recommend the older kids get a chance at hiking around the Cliffs of Moher, it was incredible.

      Bob Shaw ohhh even better. No preservatives in it. I've learned how to make some bread because I don't trust the bread they sell in our markets here in Cali. But I would LOVE LOVE some bread and cheese from France. 😍

    Yay! I am so excited!!!! I checked earlier and hoped you would upload today. Slow internet or busy day? I hope all is going well! That tower is also my favorite part of that chateau. And to see DaVinci's "house", that's so cool! I would love to see them in person. I only have one child, but I know that when she was younger it was difficult to take her on tours, the attention span is just too short and I am one of those walk slow, absorb, and linger tourists...

    It is crazy how I look every day to see if there is an upload. I am not subscribed to many RUclipsrs, so for me it is excited to see a new video. I do however understand that it is hard for them to upload. Love seeing the family and they are doing a great job, giving many people peace, and love!!!

    Now that you know about baguette tradition, hère are other simple food you absolutely have to try,
    Beurre salé "grand fermage" salted butter that you can find in supermarket.
    "Saint nectaire fermier" it's a cheese. Fermier means from the farm so you will only find it in cheese Shop and at the market.
    The other one is "mont d'or", this one you can find in supermarket. In cheese Shop buy the little ones, they are the size of a hand.otherwise I'm sure you have already tried saucisson. Bon appétit.

    That chateau looked so familiar.... and then I realised I've been there about 15 years ago as a kid! I remember in the tower they showcased the fairytale of sleeping beauty. Did you guys see this? It is said the author of sleeping beauty was inspired by this castle. Anyway awesome to see your kids are experiencing Europe!

  • @lindseyreynolds2028
    @lindseyreynolds2028 7 лет назад

    My husband and I traveled to both Chenonceau and Amboise a few years ago (and in the same day). It was probably one of our favorite days from our entire month-long trip to Europe. I've been really anxious since we live in Central Florida and are about to be hit by Hurricane Irma. I really enjoyed watching your video; it made me relax a little bit.

    Mike ,
    I was wondering did the suit case you left behind in New York City ever get sent to you? Also did your eye glasses ever get sent to you? What a beautiful Chateau ! Thank You for taking me along. Old time architecture just boggles my mind how they were built way back in the day before modern mechanical machinery used during the construction of buildings etc. etc..

  • @rachel40045
    @rachel40045 7 лет назад +1

    I'm sure it's just in the small clips we see but it seems like Esther does a lot of the work and carries a lot of the stuff. Would love to see the older boys helping out more! I'm sure it can get tiring for her sometimes.

  • @luv2travel2000
    @luv2travel2000 7 лет назад

    Awww... u went to Chenonceau.
    This was one of my favourite chateaus!
    It was fun for me to see Chenonceau again. The first time I laid eyes on it I thought it looked magical. The castle, the gardens, the river running under the castle ... so lovely.
    Hope the kids had fun at Clos Lucé. There were lots of school children visiting when I went. Seemed like there were lots of things for kids to do there both inside and out.
    If you decide to go back to the Loire Valley:
    Amboise Château (in the middle of the charming town too) was small, had a cute chaple (the resting place of Leonardo da Vinci), very high up with a pretty view of the town and river. Place to relax for a picnic lunch?! Should be easy parking (big parking area) next to the river and directly across from Amboise.
    Chateau de Langeais - has a drawbridge, smaller compared to some château, and town is right next to it. From memory it was not busy & lots of parking available for a big vehicle.
    Chateau de Cheverny - beautiful home, interesting children's rooms, nice gardens, the kids might like the dogs: more than hundred tricolor anglo-french dogs live at Cheverny. Go at feeding time! and great areas for a picnic. I enjoyed the large gift shop too! Bought beautiful aprons there for friends.
    Villandry Chateau has lovely fruit, vegetable and flower gardens.
    My suggestions (take it or leave it) have a guide (if an English speaking one is available) take you around the château ... it might make it more interesting for everyone, and how about an older child pair up with a younger one (for an hour) to give Dad & Mom a break?
    Thanks for another enjoyable video.
    Blessings 💖 💕

One of my favorite memories while in France and Nice.
