Les Invalides
Napoleon's Tomb which lists the wars he was in
Bored anyone??
Our final day of exploring was spent back in Paris to see Napoleon's Tomb which is located at Les Invalides and the Eiffel Tower. We wanted to get more pictures of the tower.
Les Invalides also holds other war heroes remains as well as a museum for the French War History. The girls weren't too thrilled to walk through the museum. As you can tell from the picture. They just sat next to the heater and kept warm. Dallin was excited to see bombs, boomers, guns and other war items. He's obsessed with "pazooka guns" and things that go bang. He's a true boy that's for sure.
We made our way from the musem to a little cafe we found back in February when we were there last. We fell in love with their Flan dessert. Mike thought it would be a short walk, the guards told us it was a 20 minute walk for an adult. ADULT was the key word to the sentence. It was a 45 minute walk in 34' weather. We were FREEZING and I was NOT HAPPY! We made it to the cafe and enjoyed our yummy treats and hot chocolate's that we had to share because they were each about 5$ for a small mug. :-(
From there we took the metro to the Tower to take more pictures. We called it an early night around 5:30 and headed back to the condo's. The train ride back is normally 45 minutes but the traffic was high which made the ride home over an hour. We swam for 2 hours and also relaxed in the hot tub and steam room. :-) We had a successful day and a great end to our trip. We didn't lose a child nor did anyone get sick. YAY!

What a great trip!!! It is funny to see the smiles on the kids faces when at Euro Disney compared to the other days, still smiles but not quite as animated. Really is the magical kingdom!
Wow Traci! Absolutely amazing pictures! They are so cool. I can't even imagine. . . Paris!! So exciting. And Disneyland too! How fun for you guys!
Looks like you guys had a blast! Looks a little cold for me though.

It looks like you guys had so much fun! What a cool trip!
Boy, does it look cold! But what fun you had, even if the kids didn't care for all the tours. I have never seen Napoleans tomb, maybe on a future trip...
Did you get to see the Eiffel Tower lit up at night? It was blue and on the hour it sparkled for a few minutes, we are lame so videoed it!
