Paris Weekending...The Louvre

we had such a great weekend!

and after last week..

it was nice to have some fun.

steve was in l.a all last week.

i'm used to his travel schedule by now..

but last week was a tough one.

when we lived

in the states and he'd travel overseas..

he would bring us back all kinds of exotic presents.

now he travels to the states and makes target runs.

oh do i LOVE my measuring cups/spoons!

no more converting! 

saturday, steve flew home.

when he got here..i was getting my hair done.

my first cut/color in paris.

i was a bit nervous, but like how it came out.

i spent the first half hour having 3 stylists

examine my hair.

they were trying to find the english word for 

terne.

lucky for me and my handy iphone app..google translate...

i figured out that what they were saying was that my hair was DULL.

after highlights and a cut..

i had the longest blowout of my life.

the french take their blowouts seriously.

sunday we walked to the louvre.

it was a beautiful day in paris.

we stopped along the way in the 

jardin de tuileries.

we ordered baguette sandwiches

from one of these outdoor food kiosks.

i could live on the cheese and butter baguette.

after refueling...we headed towards the louvre.

the people watching along the way is my 

favorite part.

love the shorts, blazer and boots.

leather and houndstooth..

and their matching yellow.

the louvre offers free admission

on the first sunday of every month.

we were willing to wait the 45 minutes to an hour

to get in...however, after waiting only a minute or two

an attendee came up to us and ushered us right in.

so happy we brought the stroller.

will loved the louvre and wants to go back.

and i thought we'd be dragging him throughout it.

the headless angel.

griffy said.."mom! that baby is doing eh eh!"

eh eh is what griffy used to call nursing.

:)

one of the many beautiful painted ceilings...

you know i love a spot of leopard.

another great weekend in paris.
