April in Paris




From London we took the chunnel (train that goes under the English Channel) to Paris. I was a little nervous going underground. It wasn't anything special--It just got dark for a while and then light again.
We were a little tired, can you tell?
We only had 3 days in Paris, but we packed a lot in. The first thing we saw was Notre Dame.





We also spent some time touring Versailles. We toured the palace and spent some time walking around the grounds

 


We didn't have time to go into the Louvre, but snapped a few pictures in front of it.

Crepes, anyone?
Or how about some hot chocolate?

The Arc de Triomphe

Lots of stairs to the top

Sacred Heart Basilica

And last, but not least, the Eiffel Tour

Until next time!  (Next vacation we're thinking somewhere warm :) )

Merry Ol' England


     Well, we have a baby on the way to suck the fun out of travelling (jk future baby, love you!).  So we decided to jet off on a European vacation.  We spent 5 days in London and it was amazing.  We also spent 3 days in Paris, but that's a whole other blog post. We saw and did so much, it's easier just to post a bunch of pictures.  It was one heck of a baby moon.

First Class!
