Once we all had full stomachs we headed out and decided that while we wanted to check out the Louvre we weren't sure if we wanted to risk Mr. L coloring on the Mona Lisa. So we just walked around the outside of the museum and did find the pyramid that was made so famous in The Davinci Code movie.
Pretty decent family picture minus the random girl in the back. She totally looks likes she's resting her head on K's shoulder. Well, Paris is the city of love ;)
After seeing the Louvre, we decided we would walk around the Seine River for awhile. We had heard about a certain bridge where couples go to make a romantic pledge of life-long commitment to each other. We found the bridge and as you can see there were a lot of couples committing.
Each lock is a different couple and there were tens of thousands.
It was a really touristy thing to do, but we figured why not do it so we went and found the guy who must make a killing selling locks and bought on from him.
Once you put your lock on the fence you throw away the keys into the river, so that you seal your love forever. Or at least for 2 months because that's about how often they clear off the fence :)
In the end it was something fun to do, K insisted on keeping one of the keys as a souvenir, so I guess we're only partially committed.
Ms. A really liked the river and it was a pretty nice view. Lots of artists painting the scenes from the bridge.
After that the kids really just wanted to ride the double decker bus for awhile, so we drove around Paris looking at all the sites and just had a really nice time being together. We got off the bus on the opposite side of the Eiffel tower and saw it from a different perspective than the day before. Both of us agreed and so did the kids that the Eiffel tower was the coolest part of the trip.
By this time it was time to go back to the hotel check out and head home. What an awesome experience one that we soon won't forget, and one that the kids can't seem to stop talking about.
