Paris
















Teri and Renee came for a visit this week. Zoe and I really enjoyed our time with them. We spent a day here in Germany visiting Ludwigsburg, then took a train to Paris for a few days. I just love that city! We walked for 8 hours or more a day, and took in all the sights - Arc de Triomphe, the Champs Elysees, Musee d'Orsay, the Louvre, L'Orangerie, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Monmartre, Sacre Coeur, St. Chappelle, and the place we visited nearly every afternoon....the Tuileries. This is where Zoe had the most fun riding the horses...I mean, riding the chair that was being pulled by horses. :-) There were these ponies all tied together, and you could either sit on the pony and ride, or you could sit on the chair in the back. That is where Zoe decided to ride each time. Another thing I love about Paris is everywhere you turn there is a carousel. After all those hours in museums sitting so nicely in her stroller, Zoe really enjoyed riding on the carousels every day. After four days in Paris, we came back and spent one day in Heidelberg before Teri and Renee headed home. It was a busy week full of sightseeing, and we had a fantastic time!
