Paris in a Day

This morning, Emily & I took Mom and Dad to do Paris in a day.  With my parents and both children, we took them to the Eiffel Tower, Arch de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral, and walked around a lot of the city.  The kids were great (since I'm the one posting, we're crediting my influence as a father on that one).  I warned my wife that I was going to dip and then kiss her in front of the Eiffel tower.  She laughed and said it was a great idea.  She was completely shocked when after the first picture, I threw her backwards and kissed her.  My mother then looks at my father and threatens him if he tried to do the same.

My mother still says I showed her more of what Paris looks like below ground than above.  I believe in parking and using the subway system.  I think I may just let them walk everywhere when we go to Brussels on Thursday.  They'll see more and have sore feet when they get home.  Emily thinks I should edit this and be nice, but she's still not the one writing this post.  We actually did see a lot, especially with the time we lost getting parked and fighting traffic.  I have decided that my previous verbal and written comments about French drivers have been entirely too gracious. 

I tried to upload more pictures onto this page, but it took too long.  There are pictures in the photo albums (link on the right).
