It’s interesting how England and the U.S. have different words for the same things. Lift/elevator. Flat/apartment. Strawberries/rhinoceros balls. That picture scarred me.
And I just spit out my coffee laughing! The worst part is the strawberries were freeze dried under that waxing, pink shell. Wait, maybe not the worst part. Rhino balls is definitely the worst.
Man, what an amazing tour. Seeing all the best bits! We took our three kids to England when they were 3, 5, and 7. It was amazing and also a bit nightmarish. (We had lived there pre-kids for one year, hence like you, the eagerness to go, and we also had a friend who offered us a place to stay). I remember the children lying on the floor of Heathrow while we waited in line for hours at customs after arriving from an overnight flight with a layover in Iceland. Two of them had just vomited on the plane during arrival because we circled the airport like 5 times. The King's Cross McDonald's was outstanding. And all the other McDonald's.
Oh Andrew...THE BEST! I mean, the worst but just the best! Thank you for sharing! In just 6 days I have been to McDonald's FOUR times! My kid keeps saying, "I just want to read the menu and see if it's different." At least he's reading, I say!
Love this! I took my then-9-year-old son to London and Paris two years ago and he loved it. I think he ate more crepes, croissants, and pastries in Paris than a human is meant to, and the Catacombs was a big hit! Enjoy Paris!
"Just wrestling, son." took me out haha. Loved to see London through the eyes of a kid!
Totally different experience for sure! Thank you for reading, Jane!

An amazing ploy, but yes, reading is reading as far as I'm concerned!
OH! We also spent about THIRTEEN HOURS in the NBA store today! "But it's in Paris, Mom!"
Haha, Victor Wembanyama approves this message.
Oh yes, heard all about Victor literally ALL day today!
Now I wanna get some pictures next to statue butts. Set apart my dating profile
Happy top photoshop you in these, Rick! Also we are in Paris and we're adding "boobs" to the Butts & Nuts tour. So much culture!
Amazing! 😂
It is a different kind of trip for sure!

Ahhh that’s awesome! We only have two days in Paris and I’m currently in a McDonalds so you know, only hitting the must-sees. 😂
Where is the Fodor’s publishing team?! Are you not seeing this family-friendly travel guide, people?
This was a hilarious delight and I loved tagging along with your butt-crazy fam to visit one of my favorite cities in the world. Onwards to part 2!
We loved having you with us! Please enjoy this butt-shaped popcorn bucket as a souvenir!
This was awesome. All the 10 yo sees is butts. 😂 Elgin marbles or lion balls? Hehe.
I miss seeing places thru my kids eyes.
Well, we’re in Paris now and I’m so excited for him to see one of greatest phallic symbols of all time!
