The last night in Paris and then we head home. Angie already blogged about what we did today so I’ll skip recapping that. I think we’ve all had a good time but we are all a little tired and probably will all enjoy being at home in separate rooms for a...

So there was this wind-y line in front of the Musee d'Orsay, and I guess it was longer than they expected it to be. So there was no rope line set up to guide the line, and people were just kind of making it wind on their own. So FOUR TIMES when we...

So Jeff pretty much summed up today. At times it was pouring rain, at other times not so much. The view of Paris from Montmartre was pretty (although a little gray and cloudy). The kids and I rode the funicular both up and down the hill(since Ryan's...

Today we were met with more rain, but it wasn’t as bad as yesterday and we survived through it. We started off by going to Montmarte (the only real “hill” in Paris). Near there was a Fondue place that was recommended by the bike tour we took. So after...

It rained all day yesterday. And not like Seattle rain, where it rains lightly on and off - this was pouring rain. All day. So we stayed close to home and visited the Natural History Museum at the Jardin des Plantes. Which was just meh. A lot was in English...

All the days are blurring together a bit, but we're having fun. Paris is nice and while I assume its no more crowded than London was it feels more crowded. Part of that is likely due to our tourist fatigue. I know we are tourists ourselves but after...

Saturday we went to Notre Dame cathedral in a downpour. (A quick side note about weather: before we came to Paris I was worried about the weather being too hot because by all accounts August can be really warm here and there is no air conditioning in...

Friday the 13th (my birthday) we went on a bike tour of Versaille. We went through Fat Tire Bike Tours, an American owned bike tour company that has offices in Paris, Barcelona, London and Berlin. I would definitely recommend them to anyone travelling...

More photos are up, if you've seen all the other ones you can start here . Tomorrow we are hanging out at the apartment to rest up. I think everyone will get caught up on blog posts then.

We're in Paris and having fun (also everyone's a bit tired and can become cranky at points). Tomorrow we do the bike tour at Versailles but will be home early and get caught up on photos and updates.

Oops – haven’t blogged in a few days. Here’s a recap of the past few days: Monday : We traveled to Salisbury, where we took a bus tour of Stonehenge and Old Sarum. I thought Stonehenge was interesting – the audio guide definitely helped with that by giving...

So I’m a bit late on this but a few days ago we went and saw Kensington Palace which was kind of lame. After we split up and my dad and I went to Churchill’s war rooms and the museum to him and they were both AMAZING. After me and my dad went on a journey...

We went to Salisbury and Stonehenge today. Was a fun day trip. Saw all the sites including Stonehenge, Cerum (hiltop location of Castle and original location of cathedaral) as well as Salisbury Cathedral. All good stuff and lots of fun. Angie's friend...

We’ve done a lot of walking, standing, back tracking and looking for somewhere to sit over the last few days. Yesterday was a bit rainy in the afternoon so we chose to go to a movie to a) Avoid the Rain and b) Sit down for a while (but not necessarily...

I am tired. Really tired. And my feet hurt. Having said that, I am still having fun. I didn’t post yesterday because we were home pretty late, so here’s what we did the past two days. Saturday: we went to Buckingham Palace for a tour (preceded by a somewhat...
