Paris or Bust!

We left Jason in Switzerland to go to work and we arrived in Paris on Monday the 13th. We didn't realize that the museums are closed on Monday. So off we went to see the sights on foot. We did tons of walking. We did get to see Napoleon's tomb. That is a beautiful place.We were having some fun on the Seine.
That evening we were at the Arch de Triumph.

We went up to the top and had a gread view!

The next day was a holiday - Bastille Day. We waited 2 hours for the military parade to start. Let's just say that we finished watching it at the hotel on the tv. Definately have to be a military finatic to have enjoyed it. Since it was a holiday, almost everything was closed. We did go to Notre Dame and that evening we watched the fireworks at the Eiffel Tower. That was well worth the wait. However, they didn't start until 22:45. My pictures didn't turn out but I did get some good video. I'll see if I can post it.

The cousins at the military museum at the Invalides.

The armor was beautiful. However, I couldn't believe that children this small went into battle. Maybe it was only for protection when traveling from one place to another. I don't know but it said it was for "enfants" (children in French)

The brothers messing around with the brother in-law taking the pictures.

Katelyn doing some thinking.

Kecia and the family in front of the Louve.

Katelyn and her Uncle Zeb having some fun. I wish the picture was more clear.

Trying to catch up on some sleep. They were heading back home the next day.

We had fun! They definately did a lot of walking. We saw quite a few places during their 2 week stay. Many games of Spades and Rummy were played. Lots of pasta, pizza, salami, cheese, crackers and bread were eaten! Our house is so quiet now. We miss them but will see them soon. Memories were made and will be reflected on many times over.
