They see to be blending together…
What day of quarantine are we on?
And did we mention how LooOoooong the days are?
BUT there are still plenty of things we can do to keep our minds busy and constantly learning. We’re in a situation that we’ve never been in before but there are plenty of ways to make the most of our time during quarantine.
From reading all the books you never had time for, to finally organizing your closet and maybe even learning how to make pasta, remember to look on the lighter side of things from time to time; It’ll leave you feeling happier, making the best of things right now.
Check out these fabulous virtual tours that you and the fam can take from the comfort of your own home, while sitting in your PJ’s and making some memories together! ((And bonus: The kids will be learning a lot, too!) :)

--- Bow before the majesty of Versailles
The world's largest royal domain at just over 2,000 acres, the Palace of Versailles in France is a stunning surviving remnant of 17th-century aristocracy from just before the French Revolution. Located 12 miles outside Paris, the former hunting grounds became the official residence of Louis XIV in 1682.
On the link below, you can explore via StreetView the extensive gardens and the beautiful Hall of Mirrors, as well as collections of artwork, insights into the engineering behind the site's many fountains and lakes, and much more. It's easy (as well as enjoyable) to lose yourself virtually in the details of how Europe's most impressive gardens came to be.
