Our Mid-Life Crisis Through Europe

Ahhh Paaareeeee

I finally have a consistent connection to actually be able to upload pictures.  Time is going by so quickly and I have so much left to blog about here in Europe.  Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

Ahem, well our next stop was Paris.  We spent a week in Paris in an amazing apartment that allowed for me to actually cook for a change.  After eating out all the time, I was hankering for a good home cooked meal (bonus: I got to go to the local market to buy fresh ingredients to try out).

While in Paris, we did many typical touristy things including visiting the Eiffel Tower (of course).  We went up to the top of the tower and drank champagne as we enjoyed the views.

Picture kissing in front of the Eiffel Tower - check!

Another Eiffel pic (I have tons).  This one is in front of a memorial that has the word  PEACE written in many languages

We then visited Les Invalides which contains a really interesting war museum and houses Napoleon's tomb.





Luke was most excited about the museum as he explained many of the different weapons and how they influenced warfare


Really interesting helmet





Here are some other random pics of our time just walking around the city and seeing some of the beautiful architecture and sculptures including the royal bridge, the Grand Palace and then the Mini Palace (which was still quite grand).










Next up:  Notre Dame, the Pere Lachaise Cemetery and of course, the Louvre!
