The Youd's are off to Europe. We will be travelling from August 13th until November 19th. Today we head to London for two weeks followed by a week in Paris, two weeks in Berlin, a week in Interlaken, a week in Barcelona, two weeks in Florence, two weeks in Rome, and two weeks in Athens. Hopefully, we will also see various other countries. I can't wait to see the Coliseum and the Parthenon, and Corrie ten Boom's house. Shelley can't wait to explore Berlin. And Ryan is looking forward to checking out all of Europe's parks and making new friends. We love you and will miss you a ton. Please keep us in your prayers.
