One last thing...

Amelia saw this bridge the first day we were in Paris.

For years and years couples have left locks attached to the Pont des Arts bridge.

We decided to leave one too. Now there will always be a little piece of her in Paris

We picked out a special place between the 2nd trash can and the 3rd light post on the Pont Neuf side of the bridge.

Street Dancers

















Amelia got to see some really interesting street dancers on the Champs élysées. They even had her dance with them! (I will post a video later).

The Lido













Amelia got to stay up extra late and see a Las Vegas style show called the Lido!

She loved it!

Disney Store...

Of course we had to visit the Disney store on the Champs Élysées.

Brunch...









We stopped for a quick snack behind the clock after seeing some fabulous art!

The Highlight of Amelia's Trip!

Amelia's favorite part of our trip so far was a visit to the Musee d'Orsay where she got to see the little dancing girl sculpture by Degas.

We quickly snuck a picture even though we weren't supposed to!

Amelia loves Paris!


On the Napoleon bridge.




I think we heard that this was the oldest clock in Paris.


Just a pretty government building.


Notre Dame...


This was in a small chapel inside Notre Dame.


This was outside the main doors. This is Amelia's favorite building. She calls it the castle.

The view from the top

Eiffel Tower - pt 1

It was a cold and rainy day - but we braved the weather and visited the Eiffel Tower!

All of these pictures are from our first stop at the 2nd level. (The 1st floor was closed for renovations).
