Last summer when my family and I were in Europe, we spent only a couple few days in Paris. It was so nice to be able to spend a longer time there this summer, and it meant we could relax a little and not have to run around Paris trying to see everything like chickens with our heads cut off!
We returned to one of my favorite places, the Luxembourg Palace and Gardens, and saw all the main sights: the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and Notre Dame. We also took a day and went into Giverney to see Monet's Gardens and relax in the Norman countryside. It was so cool to see where Monet's inspiration came from--I would be inspired to paint like that if I lived in such a beautiful area!
I loved my time back in Paris, but it was still good to finally make my way home after 8 weeks of traveling in Europe. I truly enjoyed my trip, and the memories and things I learned will stay with me for forever. As you read this, my family and I are heading to Yellowstone for the week for a little family vacation… My traveling just doesn't seem to end!
Happy Monday!
