The museum used to be a train station, this was the original clock.
After we got out we enjoyed a stroll along the Seine. The weather was gorgeous!
We took a cab to our hotel and started to walk off the beaten path.
Our first stop was at my favorite French place...
We then started walking. We were walking with native Parisians. We saw where they live, shop and socialize. These were some chalk drawings...
Ealier in the week, I wanted to stop at a spot and get a picture of the Eiffel Tower. John didn't think it was the correct place, so we didn't get off of the bus. As we walked, low and behold, we ended up here...
and I got my picture
We walked back and went to what ended up being our favorite restaurant.
We then went and walked down the Champs d'Elyses one more time. We went over to the Arc De Triomphe one last time.
As we were going back to our hotel I got this pic of the sun setting by the Arc! So beautiful!
As we started to pack, John took one more look toward the Arc.
And so ended the most wonderful vacation. It was so wonderful! John and I saw some amazing sights. We experienced several different cultures and saw some major historical places. But the most wonderful part was our time together. We are so blessed to have each other. We love new experiences, but it doesn't matter where we are, whether in Paris, London or Raleigh, as long as we are together life is good!!
I'm so grateful to the Lord for providing for this trip, and to my grown daughters who didn't blink an eye when asked to take care of Abbey and Elijah. They both gave the younger two fun experiences. To Daniel who made it clear he would do whatever he needed to to ensure we got to take this trip. My grown babies showed amazing love to me and John that touched my heart!
I'll never forget this trip....aka "We'll always have Paris"!!!
