A Fun Day at the Grand Palais

i've been taking a break from

the blog/instagram lately.

it's nice to step away from it for a while.

i finished reading the trilogy about

josphine bonaparte.

i can't wait to take a trip out

to Malmaison thanks to

Veronique and Elizabeth 's

suggestion!

it will be an easy trip by train..

just not sure if i should wait and 

go in the spring when the gardens

are blooming??

here are some pictures taken

at the Grand Palais over 

Christmas break.

the kids and i walked from our

house one cold and sunny day.

for a few weeks over Christmas,

the Grand Palais hosted an indoor

amusement park..

complete with ferris wheel rising

all the way to the top of the dome.

so fun!

view from the top of the ferris wheel

another view from the top..

looking out towards place de la concorde

and the petite palais.

hannah and will rode the

crazy mouse so many times

i had a little glass of bubbly

while we watched hannah and will

ride the swings.

i took a lot of pics of the

ferris wheel.

we stayed pretty late!

and rode the ferris wheel

again.

walking home

looking back at the grand palais

walking home towards 

les invalides

and i may be the last 

to know about the new

waterlogue app. 

but wow..

so fun! 

i took this picture of

notre dame...
