We walked around the palace taking a crazy about of photos for about an hour and a half...it's so huge it's amazing! After exploring the palace we decided to go to the royal gardens out back. They're so huge and we wanted to have a good amount of time back in the city so we decided to rent a golf cart to explore the grounds! It was so much easier! See happy.....
Toward the end of our adventure around the gardens and the secret place the king had built for his mistress we decided to get out and take a picture at the huge pond...that's when we realized we ran over a paice of glass somewhere and were losing air big time in our tire. We took it back and they said it was fine so we hurry and left!! BUT on our way out we got a coupon for two Big Macs a drink and fry for 8 euros...and the mc Donald's was right by the train entrance so we got a lovely mc Donald's burger and ate it on the way back to paris! Once we got back to paris we checked out Norte dame and the line was HUGE so...Kody cut...but it's okay there were so many people they didn't notice. We got in and got to walk around the whole downstairs and it was amazing!! After that we wanted to go back to the hotel to get a book that told us everything our paris pass had to offer this is when me and kody almost lost each other for the first time. I had swiped my metro card and was running for the train that was there and about to leave when I realized Kody couldn't get it. I ran back and he finally got in and told me to get on the train I jumped on and he jumped right on behind me with his backpack almost getting stuck in the door...it was a close one!!
After that we decided we needed to go the napoleons tomb and the arc de triomph while are passes were still good! We got to see the tomb right before it closed and before it got I to dark. It's still just as amazingly huge as I remember it from 3 years ago...or as kody likes to put it "you could totally fit a king bed in that thing". But then we moved on and headed back to the Eiffel Tower and watched its light show. It was so sparkly (not that you can tell in they picture.)
But then it was off to the arc de triomph!! After walking up and amazing 250 steps we got to the top!
It had become totally dark now and the city looked so beautiful!! Everything all lit up cars everywhere and all the streets leading to the one building we were now standings on top of...250 stairs worth it!
We then had two more things on our list before we called it a night...the Mercedes Benz store where Kody got to see a ton of cool race cars...
And then to the Louis Vuitton store :) it was so pretty and I couldn't touch a thing! Oh well fun to look at! Well then on our way back to the hotel all the little places around us were closed so we had a great dinner at subway across the street:)
Now back in bed and tonight's shows....the Simpsons, and law and order in french :)
Nighty night!
