Paris

We really enjoyed Paris, so far Spain and Paris are places we would love to go back to. We didn't get to see everything we wanted to, Paris has so much to offer.

Directly across from our hotel the Paris fair was happening. I will add more pictures of that later.

The part across from our Hotel.

Kyle and Vienna in front of the Louve.

A statute at the Louve.

Kyle wanted me to take this picture fom my dad. He says he found a ride his size. Which really means he misses you Papo! :P

The gold statutes are on top of both sides of the bridge seen in the picture above.

This bridge is amazing to look at.

Aime-Nicolas Morot (1880) Le Bon Samaritain

This was at Petit Palace Museum, It is the most realistic painting I have ever seen with my own eyes. It is quite breath taking.

I took this picture of Vienna while laying on the grass. She came up sat on my stomach and starting bouncing on my belly, here she is mid air.

Going to the Eiffel tower was pretty cool. There was so many people there. Vienna loved it. We didn't go up because it was a 3+ hour line, and we decided to go to a museum instead. Three hour wait with a 1 year old, not worth it.

People in the Mona Lisa room. The Louve.

I knew the Mona Lisa was small, (it was bigger then I thought it was. We saw actual size prints of some of de Vinci's other prints and they were like 12in x 8in. So I was surprised it was bigger then that. It's about 2 feet tall. I was disappointed in the crowds, they have a barrier up about 5 feet away from the painting, but then you have a mob of people, pushing and taking pictures with their flash, which is prohibited. It's impossible to get close to it. I am still glad I got to see it with my own eyes, even if it wasn't my ideal situation.

Fransesco Guardi
"La Procession du doge de Venise" a San Zaccaria. Vers 1775-1780 (that is what the card said, I don't know what it means. Hehe)

I was excited to see this picture because it is the church that was right in front of our Hotel in Venice.

The Venus de Milo

Now that I did this, I am going to someday make a post of just the Louve stuff, because it's quite amazing. We missed a ton of things, and realize now that we could have spent the whole month in the Louve and still not seen everything. I hope I get the chance to go back someday.
