Paris

Parker had such big eyes on his first train ride on the RER to Paris. He called it "Percy"

One of his favorite part of the day: running around for 10 minutes laughing his lungs out and chasing every pigeon around Notre Dame!

I ran with Parker in the stroller around Notre Dame chasing pigeons. Paris is a city of pigeons!



Sorry, I am finally catching up on our blog. Today, we headed into Paris with Katie, Parker, my Mom and I (Dad was sick :(
It was a gorgeous day. We headed to the Eiffel Tower first and walked out on the Trocadero and this is the view. Can't beat it! Magnificent! It is such a breath taking view. I have so many pictures to post. Just don't want to drown every one with them.
After walking around the Eiffel Tower for a while we crossed over the Seine through some small streets and stumbled upon the Saturday market. Such a nice treat to see all the produce, meat, cheese and other french products.
We then went to the Louvre and Parker ran around the Louvre (downstairs). He played the throwing a penny around game and chasing it all over the Louvre. There is a place, below the Louvre (I think it's pictured in the DaVinci Code) where there is an inverted pyramid that goes into the ground. There is a Mac store there where we had to pick up something for my Dad.

We then walked up the Seine towards Notre Dame and found a place that sold us a greek sandwich (gyros with french fries). We then ate our Sandwiches in the little playgrounds around Notre Dame. It was a gorgeous day in Paris. Come and visit!

  2. Ryan, Thanks for posting all of the pictures from the last few day. You guys look like you are having so much fun and your mom and dad look pretty happy too.

    Hope Katie feel better very soon. Praying Parker doesn't get sick.
