Paris, France

Look at that Tower!
Sophie's 6th country before her 1st birthday was France. We did a eurostar trip from London to Paris. Katie's mom, sister and Charlie visited and we all headed over to Paris. The train trip was a lot of fun and very fast! I will say that when we got to Paris the metro wasn't very baby stroller/handicap accessible. So if you need assistance walking be sure to skip the metro and take a cab.

Chef!
Napoleon' - Little man, big Tomb
In 2009, for our honeymoon we spent 4 days in Paris.  We ended up reliving our Paris trip. We all stayed in the same hotel and visited the same restaurants and the same museums. It was a great trip since we got to share those places with our family. The Louvre is still the best museum ever, the Rodin has amazing sculptures, Napoleon's tomb is still huge, and the Eiffel tower is still standing.

Walking in Versailles
One of the best day trips that we did again this year was a trip to Versailles. I love that place! It's beautiful! Although very crowded it was again worth every penny! (covered on our Paris museum pass) We even made it for the fountain shows. We did run into some ignorant tourists though. I noticed that when lots of cultures get together there are bound to be some misunderstandings. le sigh....






Any way, the food in France is amazing! The service is terrible! But the experience is totally worth it and I would go over and over again.... Oh, and best part of the whole trip was that Mandy and Charlie got engaged! Last of the Llewellyn's to get hitched and my older sister. Congratulations!!!!
Look at this ring! Wow!
