Bella, Gabe and Josiah

Today was a much slower day. We started with a trip to Pere Lachaise Cemetery and while it was amazing, it felt awkward taking pictures, so this is the only one that I have. We didn’t really have much planned, so we just wandered aimlessly. We headed in the direction of Napolean’s Tomb. However, when we got there we realized that we needed tickets and were weren’t sure it was worth paying for. So we were trying to figure out what else we could do, when we discovered that Napplean’s Tomb was actually part of the war museum. Since I was traveling with three war obsessed little boys, I promptly bought tickets for the next day… We decided to head to the Jardin du Luxembourg and spent a lovely afternoon reading books, watching boats and people watching. Then we finally got tickets to get inside Notre-Dame. Apparently I did not take very many pictures, but it was so pretty!!  And then we headed back home to sleep.  

I assumed when we started this trip that we definite weren’t going to any museums because, well, boys. But then we mentioned that there were lots of museums andI asked them what the most famous picture in the world was. They both answered the Mona Lisa. I told them that was in Paris and they informed us that we absolutely needed to go. So, okay. I guess we’re taking two little boys to the Louvre… But first, we had a slow morning. And the boys bought some new hats. Then we headed to the Louvre. Our first stop was the Mona Lisa. Josy was super excited, which I did not expect. But since we were there, we decided to explore a bit. Josy wanted to find a sarcophagus that he saw in the map, so we had to search the entire museum looking for it. He’s convinced we did not find it. I’m pretty sure that we did… It was a long day and we were all worn out by the end, but it was also really fun.
