European Vacation Part I

We recently "crossed the pond" to " jolly old England" where we stayed in London, toured the British countryside and ventured to Blackpool Pleasure Beach. We also decided to hop the Eurostar train to Paris where we took in the sights, sounds, and life of the beautiful "City of Lights". We also opted to visit both Versailles and..... Mickey Mouse!! Yep! We went to Disneyland Paris parks to see Mickey, Euro- style!! I'm just going to post a pictorial of our recent excursions and since we have so many pics to share I figured I'd split it up into a few different posts. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did taking them!! So without further adieu....
