Vacation Videos - Only 6 weeks late

So just a few videos from our trip. I know it's like a month later and it's kinda not relevant anymore. But it takes time to get to things, so here we go.

This first video is only representative of what happened with Reece everywhere we went. People LOVED him, especially the Italians. It was fun to watch, and we even (sometimes) got special perks because of it. Example: in Venice a couple gave us all-access passes to every museum because they thought Reece was cute. Unfortunately he cried in every one of them. Then in Florence's Uffizi, we got to go behind the little velvet ropes to get to the elevators and got to see the full 360 view of some famous sculptures (the actual thorn in the "Boy with the Thorn in his foot" or whatever it's called). We had tourists gawking at Reece instead of Michelangelo's David, and others pointing out Reece instead of admiring Galileo's actual finger (which we thought was pretty cool). This happened dozens of times a day, so when we left Italy Reece had been trained that if he looked at someone long enough, they would love up on him. He's still getting over that and will stare people down in the store. If they don't look back and smile, he yells at them. It's pretty funny and getting better.



This next video is from our drive through Switzerland. We were just amazed at how incredibly beautiful it was. Enjoy.




This video is halfway up Mount Pilatus in Lucerne, Switzerland. This was our favorite day of the trip.



And finally, just a little bit of French culture from our three hours we spent in Strasbourg. Sure Ryan and Liz actually live in France and can actually give you accurate accounts of the culture, food, people and music, but we aren't cool enough. So you get me singing Frere Jacques.

Fun! How does Paul know where the naked ladies dance? Reece is adorable. I hope you took hand sanitizer for his entire body with all those adoring Europeans! :)

Awww, what a fun trip you guys had! Reece is definitely adorable and I don't blame the Italians in the slightest for stopping and talking to him so much. What beautiful countryside, too! I love your personalities =P
