The Louvre

Because I am having such a hard time keeping this blog updated, I'll just give the quick story of our trip to the Louvre. I am not an artsy, fartsy type of person, so going to a big museum was not my first priority while in Paris. But.....It was my absolute favorite. Now for the quick version.

-Arrive at Louvre @ 5:30 pm (been awake since 4:45 am)
-I'm tired, Caden is even worse but not complaining
-I anticipate much complaining and requests to be carried around the Louvre.
-I request free "pushchair" for Caden b/c I don't want to be holding him.
-"pushchair" is a wheelchair and everyone thinks Caden is disabled.
-get lots of special treatment b/c of said "pushchair"
-I make Caden sit in it the entire time b/c I don't want to give up said treatment
-I start to feel a bit guilty when we are escorted around and in front the mass of people looking at the Mona Lisa
-We are standing only inches in front of Mona Lisa and I really feel really bad
-We walk around for over 2 hours and still only see 1/2 of one of the 3 floors.
-Our dogs are barking and we head back to the hotel

Awesome time!!!! We went on to see many more wonderful sights while in Paris. We saw Notre Dame, Arc de Triomphe, Champs Elysees and much more. We loves sipping our hot coco and eating our crossiants at the French Bistro. I'm sure I'll make it back there with Brice to see the many other sights we missed.
