We had a very busy first day in Paris!
Le Centre Pompidou- a fancy building that was built to have the ugly stuff on the outside and only the beautiful on the inside.
Notre Dame
Inside the cathedral
Posing with my pain au chocolat
Nathaniel, clearly in his element
The Louvre
As we're walking past this painting Nathaniel says with a straight face,"I'm glad I don't have to go to battle naked." Um. yah. Me too, honey.
The Mona Lisa. We all know what it looks like, and though I was excited to see the real thing, I thought that the swarm around it was most picture worthy.
William giving kisses
This woman was painting an AMAZING duplicate!
The first mummy I've ever seen! So cool and creepy at the same time.
Games dating back to 3000 b.c.!
William kept trying to touch the statue when we tried to get him to pose. Such an active child!
Obelisk (swiped from Egypt) and the Eiffel Tower
I offered to take a picture for an Aussy rockstar-looking couple (so funny- you should have seen the woman's pose) so they offered to take ours.
poor man.
Arche de Triomphe
Upward view of the arche
William has no idea how pampered he is. We took an elevator part of the way up the arche and then had to carry the stroller the rest of the way. The view was amazing- all of Paris!
Helllllo shopping. It is sale week in France- I took full advantage and got some super cute clothes for William. Somehow I'm just not interested in clothes for myself... maybe still a post pregnancy thing.
Voila.
Ahh... what would a trip to France be without a trip to a dictionary store for my beloved dictionary addict?
William kept himself entertained for about 20 minutes pushing this thing around the bathroom in our hotel room.
