October 2017 France

Claude Monet's garden at Giverny



It was so beautiful. 





You can see why the famous painter was so inspired here.





Everywhere you looked was gorgeous.

















I found a rock.


Mont Saint-Michel




 We walked up to the  church.


The water was super high when we got there.









The water 



I love all the details.



It was cool seeing these statues at the top of the church the fog made a super cool background. I am sure the amazing view from the top would have been ok too.



The fog was like a little hug so high up.


The coolest thing about this church was all the patterns in the windows.


Look how much the tide went out on our walk up.




Normandy American Cemetery.


 It was a beautiful day to remember the past.

a monument.


We went to go see the Bayeux Tapestry which is super long and amazing 
but photos are forbidden.
The cathedral wasn't too bad either.







Paris Temple.

Watching Harry Potter waiting for Mom who was in the temple.

The temple grounds.


Trying to go to Versailles. 
 The Gate was closed and our kids were done walking so we just went for a walk outside the famous gardens.


We found croissants.

 By our hotel.

Arc de Triomphe




Eiffel tower.



 The view.




It was a fun ride. 

 All the lines are so cool.  It is impressive.







Ike loved the bootleg towers we bought.

It is a cool structure.

 We found it challenging to get a good picture.





 River boat cruise.  It was cool to see all the bridges and get an over view of the city.


I just like all the faces that were pulled.



Mikes pictures from the Eiffel tower.


Arc de Triomphe



Fun and games.



 Disney land.


there was much anticipation.


some fun was had.


Everyone was silly.




That face.









It's a small world is way better in paris.  It is well done.



Waiting for the fireworks Rex and Chloe played hairdresser.








Mostly there were a lot of lines and I was super grumpy.  We had a few lost kid scares, Rex might need therapy from the tower to terrors, but we made it through the experience. We are happy to be home.

  1. oh my goodness. what?! beautiful gardens, PARIS, and then Disneyland paris! I was caught up in the fact that Chloe looks so grown up. the picture of her in the garden on the bridge in the background I swear it was you Jill. and going to Versaille is my dream. That's it, I'm coming over and we'll do Versaille when the gardens are opened. and don't you just love the eiffel tower? awe so many good memories. Thanks for sharing all your adventures with me.
