Paris for four days

Can you believe that the girls spent three hours at the Louvre and loved it?! Julia found a American company called Paris Muse, which does guided treasure hunt art tours for children, complete with a prize at the end. Here the girls show their "detective guide books" with our guide Kristen - the adults also got lots of good info from Kristen too!

Viewing the Mona Lisa from all angles....

In the Jardin du Luxembourg, the girls couldn't pass up a donkey ride...


At the Jardin du Luxembourg we also sailed little wooden boats in the pond. Julia and I tried not to do too much coaching! We stayed at a nice little boutique hotel in the St-Germain des Pres area. Maria also came with us on the train from Torino - about a five-hour journey. The weather was cool, but we got in some great sites...

Claire - ready for a big push off - her boat was smoking fast!

Lila brought Valentina to Paris - this doll has had some interesting adventures.

At the Eiffel Tower the line was long, but the trip to the top was well worth it. The sparkling light show was the girls' favorite part.
