We made it! Ah, Paris!

Of course, our Paris journey begins with a climb up the Eiffel Tower, to the second floor, which is far as we could go on our ten feet, although six of the feet really wanted to keep climbing!

The view from the second floor- a beautiful Fall day in Paris! After climbing the stairs at the Eiffel Tower, we went on a boat trip on the Seine. It was pretty hard to stay awake at that point but we persevered.

The next day we visited the Parc d'Acclimation in the Bois de Bologne. Lots of good climbing and a few rides for the kids, and we enjoyed the view from below!

On Friday we visited the Louvre. We had a fairly set mission for the kids' first visit and it went really well. Afterwards, we had lunch in the Tuileries. It's great telling the children stories from history and having parts of it right in front of us.

More pictures to follow soon!
