Disclaimer: I’m updating from my phone while on vacation, so I apologize in advance for typos. Also, I can only post iPhone pics so you’ll have to wait till I can download from my camera for the good stuff. Also, remember, Beetle is at our house, so don’t even think of trying anything!
So many sights. And the most exciting things? One: You have to lick the stamps (and I was surprised to realize my kids had never seen that). Two: Someone made our beds while we were out.
Day one was trying. The kids were exhausted. About 4 1/2 hours of sleep on the flight over. We spent the morning at the Jardin Du Luxembourg where the kids played in the fabulous playground and then we watched (in French) a puppet show. We got into our room, napped, and voila! We were human again. The afternoon was spent lazing about the Champs du Mars, sketching the Eiffel Tower.
Evening time we rode a Bateau Mouche on the Seine.
Kids slept from 11 pm to 10 am when I woke them.
Today we went up the Eiffel Tower, which was way more interesting than I had thought it would be. We had lunch up top, and the girl was gaga over her dessert. BTW, the shirt is from Target back home; the girl insisted she HAD to wear it to the Eiffel Tower.
In the afternoon, it was super hot so we took off our shoes and plunged our feet into the icy Trocadero fountain.
This is what passes for dinner.
Tonight, early to bed so we can have a full day tomorrow. And thus our adventures have begun….
