Parisian markets






















We came across an amazing market filled with everything you can imagine- flowers, fruits and veggies, fresh fish and meat (yuck), breads, sweets, clothes and crafts. It was so interesting and such a blast to explore. I loved the scarves, Dyl found chocolates and Aidan ate loads of clementines!






Touring Paris











Arc de Triomphe
Avenue des Champs-Élysées
We found many wonderful cafes and walked throughout the city seeing all the sites. Wish we could have gone in more galleries and museums but that will have to wait until Aidan is more interested. Instead we searched for the best cup of hot chocolate in the city! (We found many!)

Eiffel Tower















Our hotel was only a few blocks from the Eiffel Tower so we headed there first. It was rainy but we took the elevator to the top and got a great view of the city. Aidan also made off with some yummy treats!

Paris




I am behind posting pictures so I am going to go back a bit. In November Aidan and I met Dylan in Paris for the weekend. We took the Eurostar train from London to Paris. The train goes under the English Channel or 'Chunnel' and only takes about 2 1/2 hours.



On the way to our hotel we stopped for snacks. There are so many food shops and vendors along the street so we bought clementines, baguettes and cheese, olives, croissants, the list goes on and on and had a feast in the room! We were liking Paris already!

Playing with buddy Chistopher, playing in the train with Da-da, more fun with Christopher, tricycle riding, lots of eating, eating apples and raspberries from our neighbors' garden, and playing Pass the Parcel at friend Isabelle's third birthday party.















Guard Practice



















Yup, those are the guard pj's and hat. He even nailed the stern guard face!
