Paris Trip--Day Three

The third day we visited Sacre Coeur in the morning, had falafel in the Jewish Quarter for lunch, and Notre Dame in the afternoon.  It was a rainy day, so after that we went back to the apartment for hot chocolate and movies.

Paris Trip--Day Two

Our second day in Paris was Sunday.  So we woke up early to take the metro to church at 9:00 AM.  

 After the meeting, just outside the building where church was held:

 We walked to see Notre Dame:

 Then we went back to the apartment, took a nap, changed clothes, then walked to the Luxembourg Gardens and Palace:

Paris Trip--Day One

For her senior trip, we took Laura to Paris.  She invited her friend Alyssa Clark to come with us.

 It was Alyssa's first time ever flying in a plane.  The first leg was a bumpy one, but they most still smiled for the camera.

 Here they are once we boarded the big international plane:

 We arrived at 8:30 AM in Paris.  It felt like 1:30 AM due to the time difference, but we had to try to stay awake until bedtime.  After we settled into our apartment and bought a few groceries, we headed out to visit the Eiffel Tower:

 Here we are back in the apartment:

Isaac's 13th Birthday

For Isaac's birthday, we went to the Mellow Mushroom to eat pizza.  Isaac, of course, ordered the mushroom pizza.  Grandma Kim joined us.

 Then afterward, we went to this place called "Outfox" that had escape rooms.  We were given 1 hour try to "escape" the room by solving puzzles and clues.  Here we are trying to look for clues on the walls...

 ...still looking...

...and we sucked.  In the end we figured out 2 of the 8 clues we needed to solve.  Oh well.  We came home for brownies and ice cream after which always consoles the soul.  Happy Birthday, Isaac!
