Neil Patrick Harris has finally taken some time off from work.

The How I Met Your Mother multi-hyphenate and his partner, David Burtka, have jetted off to Europe with their twins Gideon and Harper.

What have they been up to? And which other famous family are they spending time with? Read on for details...

The Harris-Burtka clan has been spotted in the South of France with pals Elton John and his husband David Furnish along with their little one Zachary.

The two bold-faced broods have been enjoying some time on the water and in the sun aboard Sir Elton's yacht.

And talk about cuteness! They're shielding the babes from excess sunshine by dressing them in adorable little hats. Plus, safety is definitely a priority—they've also put them in bright orange mini life vests.

"The family and I are having one of the best weeks of our lives," NPH tweeted a couple of days ago. "More details to come."

We can't wait.
