Back from Paris!

Hannah moving the Eiffel tower.
Back from Paris and what a great time we had.  Lots and lots of walking.  We spent 3 days touring around and visiting some of the famous sites.  Highlights included:

-seeing Mona Lisa's smirk and Venus de Milo at the Louvre
-eating Macarons at Laduree
-viewing Paris from the Tour Montparnasse
-eating yummy crepes, croissants and tarts (can I admit that for lunch once we just had tarts).
-watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle each night
-seeing Monet's Water Lilies at the Musee de l'Orangerie
-walking up the Tower to the second level (we had no choice only one elevetaror was working!  But, we did get to ride an elevator to the top)
-playing in the fountain at the Palais de Chaillot
-taking a ride on the River Seine
-taking endless tours aboard the L'Open Tour

What fun!  Check out the pictures to the right!

Legoland - Denmark

Our summer travels have officially begun!  Our first little day trip was to Legoland in Denmark.  This was our second visit.  What made this time so exciting is Hannah got her very own Lego driver's license.  We also went on many of the rides and our favorite (I think) was the pirate boat.  It was a fun day!  I posted some pictures in the album to the right if you want to take a gander.

Disneyland - Paris

Over Hannah's spring break back in April (yes, it does take me awhile getting stuff posted :) we surprised Hannah with a trip to Disneyland Paris.  It was great fun playing this trick on Hannah.  We drove down to southern Germany where one of our military bases are, spent the night, then drove to Paris the next day. We spent two days exploring both parks and had tons of fun!  Our favorite ride was Buzz Lightyear (Hannah pictured left)!  We also enjoyed "the Cars ride" Race RALLY as well as watching Ryan shove himself into rides that were too small for him, but Hannah insisted he go on :)  What a good dad!  Check out our pictures on the right.

Thanks for flying by!
