Go read the other posts first PLEASE!!!!

Paris, France
The first place we visited in Paris was The Lourve. The Louvre was much larger than I expected. If you put on the headphones and took the self-guided tour and really looked at the art, you could probably spend weeks in this place. There were many works of art that I have seen pictures of many times. Of course, the most famous painting is the Mona Lisa.

Here is Abby, Billy, Isaac and Alex in front of the Venus de Milo

The Mona Lisa was once in a small room that you ha to wait for hours to get into. Now it is in the center of a very large room so no more lines. You can see that it was very crowded and you could not get within 15 feet of it. It was still cool being able to see the actual painting in real life.

Pretty obvious, the Eiffel Tower.

Here we are at the top of the Eiffel Tower. We got a great view of Paris from up here.

Under the Eiffel Tower the kids enjoyed chasing after the pigeons.
