- [Jessica] What do you see, Jacob?
- Mostly my hands.
(energetic music)
- Good morning, everyone.
Right now, we're packing up the apartment here in Paris,
and we're getting ready to take
the fast train to London and then tomorrow,
super, super early in the morning,
we'll be taking a flight back to America.
Starting right now,
it's gonna be super go, go, go, just traveling.
I still can't believe we're able to do this
with just the backpacks and the one carryon.
We have a couple extra little bags,
but every time we pack everything up
and get ready to move to another place, I'm always like,
"Wow, we're actually, this is actually happening.
"We're actually doing this."
That's the stage I'm at right now.
Are you gonna take the fast train today, Parker?
- Yes.
- [Chris] Excellent.
Are you all packed up?
- Uh-huh.
- I am not very happy.
- [Chris] Are you excited about the fast train at least?
- Yeah.
- [Chris] Taking the Chunnel?
It's the tunnel before the channel.
- Yeah.
- We're almost done packing.
Everything's getting lined up by the door.
Yeah, I'm gonna miss Paris.
I really liked it here.
All right, two metros later,
we're at the train station,
and now we're just trying to figure out
where we're supposed to be
so that we can take the fast train.
(relaxed music)
They have foosball for while you wait for your train,
and it's free, so...
- Our team's meme's the one-handed bandits.
- The kids each picked out an activity book
when they were at the Louvre yesterday
because we knew we were going to be
traveling on the train today
and on the plane tomorrow.
It's going really well so far.
I'm actually really excited about this train ride.
It's going to be a glimpse of the French
countryside for all of us,
and we'll be going through the Chunnel.
That means we'll be in this fast
train underwater for like 15 or 20 minutes.
It won't really feel like we're underwater.
It'll just be dark, as far as I know.
The creation of the Chunnel
is such an amazing thing in the making.
The connection between Great Britain
and France that you can go through, it's so cool.
It's really beautiful, the clouds,
in particular here, are just so striking.
They remind me of a 3D video game,
which is so lame, but they do.
They're just these poofy clouds
that are right there in your face.
Wow, they're so beautiful.
This really is a very sweet train ride,
not just the travel side of it,
but getting to see these country areas
because we've been really in cities.
I'm so glad we get the chance to be in a train for a while
just sitting and looking at the countryside.
It's really sweet.
What'd you get for your lunch, Parker?
- Salmon.
(relaxed music)
- [Jessica] Good job, honey.
- I was going to do one.
Now it's gonna be going underwater.
- [Announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
we are entering the Chunnel Tunnel, thank you.
- All right, here we go.
We're actually going to go, it's like the channel,
the water, and then there's underneath that,
and it's like a chalk.
So we're, they tunnel through the chalk or something.
- Here we go.
- Bye, France.
- [Jessica] What do you see, Jacob?
- Mostly my hands.
- Are we still underwater?
- [Jessica] Yep.
Welcome to England.
- We're in England?
- [Jessica] Mm hmm.
- Yes.
When are we gonna get dropped off?
- [Jessica] I don't know, 30 minutes.
- So cool being under the tunnel.
You could see nothing.
- What do you see out there?
Wow.
(upbeat music)
This is just a quick appreciation
for trains versus planes.
Not that I don't want planes,
planes have movies usually,
but look at how cozy this is.
We have a big, giant table.
We're hanging out together and talking
and drawing and eating and just having a great time,
giant windows where you can just
see everything and it's so beautiful.
Oh, yeah, James got some shade.
Throwing some shade.
The reason I picked up the camera right now
was because I realize that
we're gonna have to get off soon.
I was like, "Oh, we have to get off soon.
"I don't want to."
Then I was like, "Whoa, that was a really interesting
"reaction to being done with the trip."
I want to be on this train still.
It's a beautiful view.
We're comfortable, we're having a good time.
We're laughing together.
It's really nice.
I love the train.
♪ I love the train ♪
- [Jessica] Can you say doggy?
- Woof-woofie.
- [Jessica] I like that he says it's a woof-woof dog.
What does the doggy have?
- Woof dog.
- [Chris] Dog, and what is this?
- Dog, woof-woof dog.
♪ Woof-Woof dog, woof-woof dog ♪
- [Chris] And what's the doggy have?
- Woof dog.
- [Chris] Dog.
Dog, and what is this?
- Woof dog.
- All right, we're back in London.
How's it feel to be back in London?
- Cool!
- So it's still another hour-long train ride
from here to get to our hotel,
which is right by the airport.
So early in the morning, we don't have to travel to our bus.
There's something Bailey wants to see here before we go.
- We're at King's Cross Station in London,
and we're going to Platform 9 3/4.
(mysterious music)
- It's cool, I wasn't expecting
a full-on shop and the whole deal there.
I thought there was just gonna be like a sign.
So, it's pretty neat.
What'd you think of it, Bailey?
- It was awesome.
- [Chris] Carrying a lot of stuff today?
- Yeah.
- Me too.
- I've got kind of a funny story to tell you.
I was drinking from my mug and I breathed in
with it on.
So it kind of sucked on to my chin.
Now my chin looks weird.
(serene music)
- All right, we got off the train, but now, apparently,
there's a bus we need to take to the hotel.
You wanna take a bus?
Duncan is done traveling.
We're using the very long
hallway of this hotel to get
Duncan's wiggles out because
we had a very long series of trains today and a bus.
Then tomorrow, all day on an airplane.
So get those wiggles out.
(serene music)
Good morning, everyone.
It's a little before 6:00 a.m.
We're packing up this hotel room,
and we're getting outta here.
All right, ready to go, Duncan?
You're good?
Ready for adventure?
Yeah, it's pretty early, isn't it?
Want to go back to sleep?
- [Jacob] I kinda do.
- No.
We're all checked in through security.
We're gonna have a little bit of breakfast
before we head out for the day
and take a 10-hour flight back home.
- We're gonna be home.
Whoa, it's daytime.
- [Chris] Yeah, we'll be home in four hours,
but 10 hours because of the time change.
- But it's at 10 hours,
but the time change is, so it's four.
It's weird how a plane goes so fast.
- [Chris] How does that work, Parker?
- I don't know.
I'm coloring.
- The best way to get out of a conversation.
I don't know, I'm coloring.
(upbeat music)
Ready to fly?
Yeah.
Are you ready to fly?
On this flight, we're in the bulkhead of the plane
which means that we have this cool bassinet.
Duncan didn't use it very much,
but it waws helpful when we did use it.
Having a good flight?
You're watching lots of movies?
- Uh-huh, look at this movie, it's really cool.
- [Chris] Is it Happy Feet?
- Yeah, Happy Feet.
Okay, we just got to the house
and it feels very weird that we got in a plane at 9:00 a.m.
It's definitely been like 13 hours since then,
but it's only 3:00 p.m.,
which means there's a lot more day left.
- Come see out little Parker bug.
- [Chris] Oh, dear.
Jet lag is real.
Can you believe that we have an appointment
we need to be at in 15 minutes?
- [Jessica] Duncan got a ball.
- [Chris] Did you get a ball?
How are you feeling, Bailey, are you sleepy?
- I am kinda sleepy, but I'm pretty fine.
- What kind of appointment?
- [Chris] What appointment?
Mommy made a very wise decision the other day,
and she booked me a chiropractor appointment
15 minutes after we got home because, oh boy,
I've been carrying a baby in a backpack nonstop,
all day, every day,
sleeping on very strange beds
all over the world and being on airplanes
for 10 hours at a time.
My back needs a little help.
So we're gonna go to the chiropractor
and get a little adjustment going, and no,
none of our kids slept on the airplane
because there were movies on the airplane.
- [Jessica] Duncan slept for like an hour.
- Yeah, Duncan did sleep a little bit on that little
tray that I showed you, which was good.
Then he wouldn't transfer onto it.
I got him to sleep again and he would transfer onto it.
So I just wore him the rest of the time.
Like I said, chiropractor.
Hi, let's talk about what we learned today.
We learned that most of what you see
in the Chunnel is your own hands.
We leaned how babies respond to the question,
"Do you wanna go back to sleep?"
And finally we leaned that time zones are very confusing.
Thanks for watching, everybody.
We'll see you next time.
Today is Jacob's birthday.
(upbeat music)
Jacob really wanted to do this thing.
We'll see how he does.
(upbeat music)
