Pictures From Paris

What could I possibly say about Paris that has not been said by many others before me? Nothing really. In short, Paris was absolutely beautiful! I did not think it was possible to think of a city as "beautiful" but that method of thinking is no more. The Louvre, the architectural design of the entire city, the restaurants, the Arc de Triomphe, and of course the Eiffel Tower was nothing short of amazing. I would venture to say on Saturday Celia and I pushed the kids for a good 10 miles; from early in the morning until late in the evening that ended with the Eiffel Tower. We gallivanted all over the city, from our hotel to Champs-Elysees; we saw it all. I could visit Paris 100 times over and still not get tired of the scenery. I want to post as many pictures as I can, I'll go into brief detail about a few, for the most part I want the pictures to do the talking. Enjoy, because believe me, I did!





















Excuse the formatting, because it was next to impossible to get this many pictures to line up properly. Directly below, if you click on the picture to the left is the Louis Vuitton located on Champs Elysees. To the right is Hailey next to the pyramid outside of the Louvre. And yes, Mary Magdalene is is buried below there, just like in The Da Vinci Code. Her exhibit will be opening in Spring 0f 2010.


































To the right is the Monna Lisa. I really don't see what all the hype is about. I was there and thought, "Cool. Check that block" There was nothing special about it. However, you see the scores of people flocked around her taking picture after picture. Go to Google Images and download it, seriously! Even worse, the absolute closest you could get is maybe 10 feet. Total letdown.




































The pyramid was beautiful at night as you can see...but not nearly as Celia.





































Jadon looking handsome. To the right you see him overlooking Paris from the Eiffel Tower at night.








































To the left is the group we were with on a bike tour we took around Paris. If anybody visits Paris I strongly, STRONGLY recommend taking the Fat Tire Bike Tour. We were weaving in and out of Paris traffic and the tour guides were amazing! And to the right is yours truly, drinking a 4 Euro Heineken (about $6.00) at the Eiffel Tower. White Trash America representin' to the fullest.












































Ah, we're so in love
