~ this week ~












This week we;

- climbed the Eiffel Tower (well, caught the elevator actually but we did walk down the 700 steps from the second stage).  It is simply amazing how captivating the tower is - every time we catch a glimpse I'm still all girlishly excited by it. 

- wandered through Monmartre

- ran into more than a few spring weddings...how cute is this couple?

- gasped at pretty windows, doorways and even garden sheds (so much more romantic than ours!).  My camera roll is full of shots if walls and windows (and strategically placed bicycles) 

- ate the best breakfast ever

- turned up at the Louvre twice (it was shut the first time...it may have been our last gallery/museum visit too as Grace has declared that "museums are boring and only for really old people")

- walked into far too many boulangers and consequently ate a ridiculous number of croissants/ crepes/baguettes

- drove on the wrong right side of the road for 700 km (the Doc not me, I've got road fright)

We're now in the Dordogne region- it's so pretty. We've got a week here exploring and then we head further south.

~ our joyful moments - week 18 ~


                                 


It's spring in Sweden and France (where I'm currently enjoying Paris).  The joy on my girls' faces when they saw the Eiffel Tower for the first time this week was a moment I want to remember for ever.
Karin has found more gorgeous spring blooms in the gardens near where she lives - magnolias are so pretty.

#ourjoyfulmoments is a photography collaboration between Karin and I.  We met on Flickr years ago and are hopefully going to meet up for real in the south of France next month.
