Paris!








Well Paris was fantastic despite some on and off again rain.  The day of the tour was perfect; no rain and not too much sun.  Darryl and Hugh purchased actual tickets in the grandstand and made a day out of it.  The rest of us spent the morning on a Bateau Mouche and cruised down the Sienne and got off just in time to snag a spot on the side of the road.  We actually got a great view of the parade and the pre-sprint into the Champs-Elysee.  I cannot comment too much on the  few pictures above as I don't really know who these guys are and Thomas and Darryl are both in bed so they can't provide me the stats.  There are over two hundred pictures from that day... I picked some that looked important :)
Cathy, the next couple are for you.. from the parade.




A few from the boat.


Bennett loved the boat... and he enjoyed the nice sunny weather too.  Next are some pics from around the town.















Some eating and playing.










And finally our own king of the mountains.

  2. Loved all the pictures. It was fun taking the journey with you through your photos. We were in Paris years ago during the end of Tour de France and saw them biking to the Arc de Triumph. All the kids were great travelers. If they still do show and tell in school Thomas & Michaela will have a lot to share this year.
