Paris

For Spring Break (still in April!) we decided to head to Paris. It was on Dorinda's would like to do list so we jumped in the car and took off. While in Paris we visited the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Louve, Arch de Triomphe, and the Palace of Versailles. I had never been to the Palace of Versailles. It was absolutely amazing! A beautiful palace with fabulous gardens. We also ate and ate and ate crepes (because they are the best). One night we waited on the grass by the Eiffel Tower waiting for the magical time when they light it up and let is sparkle for a few minutes. I think this was our favorite part of Paris.
On our drive home we stopped in Antwerp, Belgium. Here we introduced Dorinda to Belgium waffels (yum!) and Belgium chocolate (double yum!). It was a fantastic week except one thing was missing, Jon is still in St. Louis! Seriously, will that ash cloud ever go away!!! The only thing keeping me sane was the thought that if Jon can't come back to the Netherlands then my dad can't leave. So, at least I wasn't going to be alone!
