Now that I've recovered from the jet lag, it's time to post pics from Paris. It was a perfect weekend and I can't think of any better way we could have celebrated my mom's 70th birthday.
Since we've all been to Paris, we did a mix of "greatest hits" (Luxembourg Gardens, Napoleon's tomb, Rodin Garden, Musée d'Orsay, Musée de l'Orangerie) and things no one had done before (Toulouse-Lautrec exhibit at the Grand Palais, Musée des Arts et Métiers, Musée des Arts Décoratifs).
But mostly, we just had fun walking around, exploring the different neighborhoods, chatting away, and eating alllll the good food and pastries. Happy birthday, Mom!!
