May 20
Before leaving Europe (in less than a month!!) Nathaniel and I wanted to have one big last trip! Our original plan was to go without our kids and we quickly found a willing friend to take the little two, but had a harder time with William. No one within walking distance of the school could really take him and he can't get on at a different bus stop/route. We had offers from friends just to take him and keep him out of school, but if he was going to miss school- we decided to just take him with us! He's an easy kid (especially when he's not around his brothers) and being six he will also likely remember some of the trip.
The drive through Paris... it rained the entire drive from Frankfurt to the Northern coast of France.
We stopped outside of Paris to meet some dear friends for lunch, but didn't go into the city; here's our view of Paris. ;)
View of the Chartres Cathedral.
When we showed up we were baffled by all the flags and choral music we heard floating around outside... only to realize that it was a major Catholic holiday (Pentecost Monday-- whoops!) and there were people everywhere... kneeling! We felt rather irreverent with our boys, but still had to get a peek inside:
Some very elaborate service happening here...
Beautiful! *Maybe* one day we'll visit again and actually get to wander around.
William was happy to reach the hotel and to finally have some romping room. :) He was such a good boy!
