Overview
May 2015, marked our first major international holiday as a family. Accompanied by our dear friends from Chennai (who were with us till the Belgium leg) & well-advised by my college buddy in Luxembourg (whose hospitality we enjoyed later in the trip); we were off to our first Euro Trip. Our kids were 6 & 3 yr old, and we were super nervous about pulling this off! We have tried to share our story through our Trip Photos.
