Springtime in Paris

For the recent four day weekend we went to Paris. It is only 4 1/2 hours from here so we have been putting it off for the last four years. With less than 50 days until we move it was time we went. Here are a few pics from our trip....
As you might have seen in the National Treasure movie, Paris has a sister to New York's Statue of Liberty. Here I am trying desperately to be the 3rd sister:

Rob making his way through the small door to the bell tower of Notre Dame, no wonder Quasi was a hunch back:

Yes, we "frenched" in France... hehe

Sending out postcards from the base of the Eiffel Tower:

Ok, so the Eiffel Tower is over 1,000 feet and the Space Needle in Seattle is only slightly over 600 feet. The Space Needle has most of its weight at the top and has a revolving restaurant- at the top. The Eiffel Tower was great but I won't be eating at its first level restaurant (that doesn't revolve) where I read you can expect to pay over $300 per person and need to make reservations at least 3 months in advance!! Wowzers.

So, all in all Paris was great. I'm glad we went and that I only got sick the day we were leaving.

Next month's trip: Dubrovnik, Croatia- stay tuned. hehe =)
