We loved our very short stopover in Paris during our Christmas travels and vowed to return before we left.
We were out of bank holidays, and so we decided to dash down on Saturday only to return on Sunday.
Romantic Eiffel Tower kisses!
We waited for dark to fall for two hours on top of the tower and we were well rewarded!
Until it began to rain and two lifts shut down. Fed up tourists pushed and shoved their way to gain an inch closer to the lift doors.
After and hour of being suffocated in the crowds we made it off the Eiffel Tower, crushing the romantic memory.
The next day started well with pain au chocolate croissants and short lines into this fabulous collection.
The Lourve was a must see for Jesse!
Jesse loves the lions!
Lion from Assyria.
Rose's favorite sculpture.
Jesse's favorite painting.
We arrived early to the airport to hear the shocking news that our travel nightmares were happening again. The ash cloud had grounded flights again. We had the same inane lines, but this time we knew what to do. Hire a car and head to Calais. We ran into another British couple not willing to wait around for the planes to fly and agreed to split the car rental. Their dad even drove two hours out of his way to bring us to where our car was parked once we were back on British soil!
That painting is really kool. I think its funny that in your romantic kiss jesse is looking at the camera
