Jackie and Burger King's Great Europe Adventure!

Hello Friends!
JC writing here. Wow, it has been SO long since I've (we've) updated this blog! I really apolgize to my fans, readers, friends, and family. As you will see from the pictures below, it has been a busy summer. After my friend Gnome went back to his family in Appleton, WI, I had to find a new friend to travel with and enjoy crazy adventures! Well, Kirstin "borrowed" a new friend for me! Yay! The person she *ahem* stole this toy from still doesn't even realize he was stolen from them, so I guess they don't deserve him anyway! Hmpf. Get this (!!) - my new friend is also a Buger King kid's meal toy!? Actually, he is THE Burger King himself! So cool. I think we are such good friends due to sharing the same humble beginnings.

So, this summer Burger King spent 4 weeks in Paris (...lucky) with Kirstin. But, I've already been to Paris, so I wasn't too sad. I came over to Europe with Troy and got to go to Italy (1st time!) and Amsterdam (2nd time!) It was a great trip, and we saw lots of cool sites. Here are our pix:



La Defense (Modern Arch) - Paris
Tour Eiffel *cheeze*
Notre Dame
Funky garden display set up at the Hotel de Ville in Paris
Oh, yeah, this is Chicago. BK got to go there too... man...
Heheeeeee... poor Troy, we took this w/o him knowing- LOL
Italia! We climbed the bell tower in Florence.
View of the Duomo (Church) from the top of the bell tower.
King at the top of the Montparnasse Tower, Paris
King, going way back to his ancestral roots at the Palace of Versailles ;)

Haarlem (Holland) - typical canal scene, notice at this point in the trip my plastic parts have fallen off, yipes!
Troy and I sharing friets in Holland - Lekker! (Good!)
Pisa!

Well, it was quite a trip. We are glad to be home though - who knows where we'll go next?! Sorry it took us so long to post, we are slow when it comes to technology and such. We love Michelle's blog, it makes me still feel attached to my Appleton fam. Keep checking back for updates, who knows where our next adventures will take us!
Luv ya,
JC & BK
