Even though we were tired from the day before, we got up around 530 on Saturday morning to shower & get ready for breakfast! We all were ready and in the breakfast room at 7am. We ate what they had which was lame, but whatever, it was food, and headed to the shuttle. We took that same shuttle back to Disney because the train station was right there! So handy. So we got to the train station (we had gotten our train tickets the previous day) and as we were about to head down the escalator Ayden threw up all of his yogurt from breakfast. It was horrible! I don't know why it didn't agree with him, but it didn't. I didn't have another jacket for him, and it was miserably cold, so we cleaned him up the best we could and headed to catch our train into the city. We got on our train, (mind you, this is Mine, Darryl's, Caleb's, AND Ayden's first train ride ever)and Caleb was in love!
He thought it was the coolest thing ever!! It was about a 40 minute train ride into the city and both boys did great. No more sickness from Ayden, so I guess it WAS the yogurt.
We got to the city, went up the stairs from the train, and saw
this BEAUTY!
The train dropped us off right by the Arc de Triomphe. It was so large and so beautiful.
When traveling in Italy last October, we used the big red bus tour, and we were using it again that day in Paris!
It was great since the weather was kind of bad. Our first stop after getting on the bus was the Eiffel tower! We were so excited.
The architecture was just. amazing.
We took an elevator up to the second floor where there was a bakery.
We had a great time eating crepes!! We all loved them. And they went perfectly with hot chocolate on such a cold day!
The snow/ice sculptures on the second level of the Eiffel tower were beautiful. But boy was it ever COLD up there!!! The view was so worth it
though. It was SO amazingly breathtaking.
After defrosting for a bit, we headed back down the elevator, and headed to find our next bus stop, and get a picture in front of the Eiffel Tower. We had to walk quite a ways just to be able to fit it all in the frame! And THEN it started snowing like crazy!!! Yucko!
We got on the bus and headed to the Lourve.. still cold but loving every second!! We even got to see the Mona Lisa!!
We also stopped by the Notre Dame, and some great little shops down by the alley near it.
Then, we went back to the Eiffel Tower to see it lit up at night!
We got back on the bus afterwards and found the Hard Rock Cafe!! Our fave place to stop for food while traveling Europe!!
And then headed back to the hotel around 9ish. We were all COLD and so worn out!
The next morning, we got everything ready and went to check out at our hotel.
The kids loved the lobby and really enjoyed playing in it before we hit the road.
We decided to drive through the city to see a few things..
I loved this wall. Isn't it gorgeous?
We also stopped by the Moulin Rouge to see it.
Pretty awesome!
SO long Paris!!
