On Our Way Home

This morning we woke up early to visit the Sainte Chapelle. We picked up items from the bakery and waited in line. We made it inside. Once inside we viewed all the stained glass. 

Afterward we went back to the apartment to pack up and then out for one last playground run. 

Tuileries Jardin. Rylee didn't have the courage to come down the slide even though the children told her to go the other way. She was determined to not go down the slide. 

We found some boba on on our way to the next park. We decided to go back to Ludo Jardin so Garrett and Wyatt could try out the carousel.

Rylee wasn't feeling well today but she was a trooper. 

After picking up our bags at the apartment we rode our last metro ride to the airport.

Everything went smoothly and we boarded our plane to New York. 

We're now waiting in the JFK airport for the next 8 hours. We'll be flying into Chicago around 10AM and driving home.

Our Last Full Day in Paris

First things first. We actually slept in and didn't have somewhere to be until 2:00 p.m. We found an amazing bakery just downstairs. The bagel was delicious. 

We walked to Sainte Chapelle but the line was too long. Hopefully we'll get to go in the morning. We decided to go to a playground. Garrett met a friend and played tag and was the football goalie with him. He told him "au revoir" when we left. This was so beautiful for Marty and I to see. 

We stopped for lunch and ate baguettes and pastries.

We entered the Lourve and saw Mona Lisa. 

After the Louvre some of us were ready to go back to the apartment. Travel souvenirs were purchased.

We decided to divide up. The boys went to the Arc de Triomphe and climbed to the top for a fantastic view of Paris and the avenue des champs elysees below. Then they saw the historic Place de la Concorde and had some crepes before heading back to the flat.

The rest of us hung out at the apartment. Enjoyed the grocery store wine and I picked up a delicious pizza for us to share.

After some time in the apartment Haylee and I went and got a fraise, banane, nutella français crêpe.
