France - Day 2

I'm currently writing this post from my phone as we drive to the French coast and Normandy. Last night was a late night in Paris as we had a slight mix up with our bus after our night cruise on the Siene River. So this will be short.

We started yesterday by visiting one of the largest museums in the world: the Louvre. We had a chance to see some awesome things like the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, the Code of Hammurabi, ad much more! 

From there we traveled wth a guide on a bus to the Palace of Versialles. We got the opportunity to tour the state apartments and the immense gardens. our guide was awesome and she reminded the kids of Mrs. Overton! 

We then headed back into the city for some free time and dinner. After dinner we made our way to take an hour cruise down the river, which was awesome! We had some great views and as we approached the Effiel Tower it lit up and started to fash!

We got off the boat and were met by a special suprise, Ben's brother Aaron! It was a nice reunion! 

Today we had to the coast and tomorrow we will visite the Normandy beaches and the American landing sites and cmetary. We return to Paris on Sunday. Not sure if we have wifi at this hotel, so maybe I can update you with my phone. Mr. C
