Paris

Brandon and Kathy were able to spend five days of bliss in Paris after school started. We went to all of the great sights: The Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, Tour Eiffel, Arc de Triomphe, Champs-Elysees, Hotel des Invalides and Napoleon's Tomb, Notre-Dame, Paris Sewers, Sacre Cour, Place des Vosges and Victor Hugo's mansion (where he wrote Les Miserables), The Paris Opera, Versailles. We "pigged out" on crepes with fromage(cheese) and Jambon(ham) and apricot croissants and took a boat tour of the Seine. All in all, it was just good to be alone together. (Well, Paris was AWESOME, too.) This is us (Kathy and Brandon) and the Eiffel Tower.

And here we are at Versailles. We loved every minute of it. The only thing that would of made the trip a little better was knowing how to speak French. Well, you can't have everything.

We were inspired by "other" family members to start our own blog. Here's what we've been up to. The beginning of the summer started with a visit from Al and Al. Here Al is at the Alhambra with the kids.

We spent the summer at the pool and beach and school started before we knew it. This is the kids on their first day of school. Samantha is in second grade and Joseph is in pre-school.
