Matt had a week off from work and so we decided to explore a bit of the North West. Here is our route:
#1 Château de Chenonceau within the Chateau de la Loire valley.
#2 Blois, France. We stopped here on our way to our hotel. Cute little town.
#3 Fougeres, France. Very cool fortress town close to the Breton border.
#4 Mt. Saint Michel
#5 Normandy...very sobering...

| List of soldiers they could not find bodies for. |
 |
| Pointe du Hoc where US soldiers climbed the wall to attack the Germans |
 |
| Huge holes from the bombing |
 |
| "mommy, i look at a telescope"...so cute! |
 |
| Seneca stopped and prayed at some of these head stones |
 |
| More pictures of the American Cemetery |
#6 Disneyland Paris!! Yahoo! So much fun!
#7 Paris...so, this was funny. our camera died and we forgot to bring our charger. so we bought a disposable. so, stay tuned for these pictures later.
The first thing we did was take the Bateaux Mouches tour down the Seine river. This was the best! We were able to really see the highlights of the city this way.
Next we went to the Notre Dame, les Invalides, la Tour Eiffel, Palais de Chaillot, Champs-Elysees, and the Arc de Triomphe.
#8 Versailles. Unfortunately, by the time we got to this location is was Saturday. We were pooped and needed to drive 8.5 hours back home. So, we just looked around the exterior of the chateau and then made our way home.
We had a great trip but know we need to head back up to explore Paris and Versailles.

You live the fabulous life! I hope you are still there come Jan. when we possibly move to London!!!
These kids of ours are growing up too fast. Oh, I love that little girl of yours.
Great trip btw. Do you ever get sick of being so awesome? These pictures are amazing!
Looks like you had an amazing trip! We loved Disneyland Paris too!
Awesome pix! What a great week. So many adventures:) (Though, I am kinda wondering why you didn't decide to come visit WA instead of France... I just don't get it;)
So beautiful! Your visit and Seneca!
James was telling me something he learned about France and I thought he'd enjoy seeing your blog. Don't know why I haven't shown him before... he spent the last 1/2 hour pouring over all the photos, and telling me all the cute Seneca quotes ("they usually find her naked!...")
When Itold him Daddy and I want to go visit you soon, he insisted he HAS to go, too!
Wow, what a great trip! What a wonderful experience for your beautiful family! Seneca is getting so grown up!
