Back Home Again in Indiana.....

Greetings Friends and Family! We have returned from our Babymoon to Paris and it was an amazing trip! Paris is truly one of the great cities of the world; history, culture, diversity, arts and entertainment, architecture....not to mention amazing chocolate croissants and spectacular cappuccinos!

It was a jam-packed 5 days! We flew through the night on Friday night and arrived in Paris on Saturday morning. After a quick nap for Mommy, we hit the town running. We visited the St. Germain area of Paris and saw Notre Dame Cathedral at night. It is a gorgeous church!

On Sunday we had quite a few highlights: we were of course with Lollie and Pop (grandma and grandpa for those who don't know) for the trip and we started by leaving a memento on the "Lock Bridge", visited Musee D'Orsay, went shopping on the Champs Elysées, had some amazing ice cream and coffee and finished the night going up in the Eiffel Tower and seeing it light up in spectacular fashion. Here are some photos of the day

While the rest of the trip wasn't as full at Sunday was, there was no shortage of amazing sights and tastes! Here are just a few more pics of the best parts of the trip!

By the end, we had one tired Mommy! We had quite an adventure getting to the airport on the final day. Without all the details it involved Pop and I missing the first train to the airport, Timnah and I almost missing the second train as my watch got torn off my wrist and someone drew blood on me while Timnah screamed at the train to let us on, a mad dash through the airport, a security check of my backpack for no reason and just by the skin of our teeth getting on the flight! (Guess it was about all the details!)


End of story--a great trip and very happy we went before Bambino arrives!


Love you all--


Dad

  1. Just a quick comment - Fabulous pics and it is obvious how much you enjoyed your trip. You both look wonderful. I have never seen a happier look on your face, Josh. Timnah should be a model!
