We be trippin'- 1st Stop Paris.

On Thursday we flew to Paris stopping briefly in D.C. Longest. flight. ever. (or so i thought, the flight on the way home from Germany was 3 hours longer). The second flight was 7 hours. Luckily they had new episodes of Dexter on the plane, so we watched that on the way over. We got to Paris at 6:45am (their time). We were dropped off at our hotel by our insane driver and we fell on top of the couch right when we walked in the door and I slept for like an hour. I was so tired. Jerome stayed awake, because he was afraid we'd sleep for too long. When i went up to ask what time check-in was she probably thought we looked horrible, because she let us check in 3 hours early. We went up to our room and slept for 4 hours!

We stayed at the Magic Circus Hotel right outside Disney Land. It was a really nice hotel, very interesting decor. :) I sorta wished Kory was here with me when I saw these clown rides. Jerome refused to stand behind one while i took a picture and I knew Kory would be game for it. :)

These bunk beds were in our room. :) Pretty cute.

After our long nap we went to Disney Land for the day. I was surprised that they didn't have that many rides. We went on a few, ate some crepes and ice cream and just spent the day. We ate at "Walt's" for dinner. it was weird food.

The next day I was in charge of wake up time, but i turned my alarm off and we ended up sleeping 16 hours! We were so zonked. we woke up at like 2pm paris time. We got up quick once i told jerome what time it was (he was pretty mad). We hopped on a shuttle to the train station and rode to paris. 

We came up from the train station and saw this immediately. it took my breath away, it was so cool!

We found a tour bus and saw all the sites around Paris. It was so cool! We learned a lot of neat things about the city. We wished we had more time so that we could see the louvre, but we took pictures outside of it since we couldn't go in and see the Mona Lisa.

Notre Dame

 We missed the day tour of Notre Dame, but did some shopping just outside of it. (which to be honest is my favorite part. I love tourist traps!

 We attempted to take our picture without the assistance of others several times.

These dudes were carrying huge guns and walking around the Eiffel tower. it was super scary.

That little green statue is the original "thinking man". i wish we could have seen it up close, but it was in a private garden.

Jerome was upset that i stood on top of the chairs of the double decker bus, he was afraid i'd go flying off, but it was worth it for this picture. ;) it was raining so much that we had the upper deck to ourselves. it was so nice! We didn't mind getting wet in paris.

Jerome wouldn't stand on the seats, but he's tall enough he didn't really need to.

the "under carriage view" of "Champs Élysees-Étoile". So pretty. i love architecture much more than mountains and stuff. Thats one reason me and jerome are good for each other, we appreciate the same things.

We were a little sad to leave paris, we were just getting comfortable there, but we had to fly out to London. They had a piano in our terminal. Some people were playing it while we were eating lunch. I wish people had kept playing it while we were waiting for our flight, it was delayed a couple hours because of bad weather in london.  Paris was so much fun! Especially because i wasn't hysterical from missing my kids yet.
